DownTownShops.US

We bring together town leaders, property owners and entrepreneurs to restore historic downtowns across the country. Town leaders – Instead of adding a few stores one at a time, we revitalize a downtown area all at once. That way everyone benefits from economies of scale in design, restoration, store upfit costs, publicity and marketing.Our team will research and help merchants and landlords apply for available state and nationwide funds and tax breaks. Your town will be a new destination for guests within a 40 mile radius to see the new shops and attend locally-themed events. Imagine the excitement of area residents who hear there are 25 new unique retail shops and businesses opening on the same day! Landlords – Instead of having to negotiate with several tenants for different available spaces, we’ll work with you to lease as many spaces as you want. We vet our tenants for success. We reach out to local entrepreneurs with strong business backgrounds, and we also offer scores of franchise opportunities that will fit perfectly with your market. By working on multiple stores and storefronts at a time we will enjoy economies of scale that will keep costs down and allow the projects to be completed on time. Entrepreneurs – We take some of the best business concepts in the country, tailor them for your area, and then coordinate all aspects of store design and upfits, and then support your new downtown shops with websites, social media, a merchants association and coordinated marketing programs throughout the business year. If you’re an established entrepreneur, you’ll be ready to get started right away. If you’re new to business we have scores of franchise opportunities specially selected for your town. No one wants to go into a town and be the sixth open store among 40 vacancies. By coordinating with up to 25 fellow entrepreneurs you’ll all be able to open in the same month and have your marketing power multiplied significantly.
