“Our team is excited to be adding Cuming County, Nebraska to our Retail Strategies family and we believe we have a great story to tell to our retail partners on behalf of the County,” said Matthew Tate, Director of Business Development for Retail Strategies. “2020 has created such a great opportunity for rural parts of the country to step up and be noticed for the amenities that they have and can offer to a new age of remote workers. This year has also given a voice to more rural communities and the leadership team in Cuming County recognizes that now is the best opportunity to get in front of retailers and other businesses that historically might have discounted them.”
Through the new partnership, Retail Strategies will perform a real estate market analysis of the businesses located in Cuming County and identify areas of opportunity with expanding businesses. The Retail Strategies team will work hand in hand with city leaders to help them understand their market and highlight opportunities for infill.
