THE
STORY
Main Street businesses are quirky, diverse, unique, and offer a tremendous contribution to the identity and pride of their town. Each one from a different place. The support offered by local organizations is often not tailored for all the different kinds of businesses that coexist in downtown, resulting in opportunities lost and resources left on the table.Main Street Mavericks looks at local businesses from the perspective of Product, Value Proposition and Operations, to craft a strategy for transforming businesses via cross pollination and embracing the principles of hospitality and experience creation.
