BIRMINGHAM, AL (January 21, 2021) – Retail Strategies, the leading national retail recruitment firm, has partnered with the Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce to help expand and further the city’s retail development. The city of Lompoc previously partnered with Retail Strategies back in 2016 for retail recruitment assistance. Following the success seen in the city, Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Retail Strategies to advocate on behalf of the city.
“In Lompoc’s first partnership, Retail Strategies was able to help recruit Planet Fitness, Blaze Pizza, Five Below, Starbucks, Ulta and Famous Footwear to our city. The assistance Retail Strategies provides will allow us to focus on protecting the businesses we have without taking our focus off of bringing in new development during COVID-19.”
Amber Wilson, President, Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce
“Lompoc saw great retail success following the City’s previous partnership with Retail Strategies,” said Amber Wilson, president of Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce. “In Lompoc’s first partnership, Retail Strategies was able to help recruit Planet Fitness, Blaze Pizza, Five Below, Starbucks, Ulta and Famous Footwear to our city. With the Chamber having an added focus on economic development and retail recruitment we decided now was a great time reengage with Retail Strategies. The assistance Retail Strategies provides will allow us to focus on protecting the businesses we have without taking our focus off of bringing in new development during COVID-19.”
“As Retail Strategies continues to focus our growth on West Coast markets, we couldn’t be more excited to be back representing the Lompoc, California area,” said Matthew Tate, director of business development at Retail Strategies. “We had a lot of success in our previous partnership with Lompoc and we are happy to be shifting our efforts to assist the Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce this time around. Lompoc finds itself in the midst of a situation similar to a lot of cities right now, businesses are closing due to no fault of their own and they need a partner like Retail Strategies to help tell their story to expand retailers while also helping share insights with local businesses.”
Retail Strategies will perform a real estate market analysis of the businesses located in Lompoc 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. Additionally, the team at Retail Strategies will proactively reach out to potential businesses, property owners, brokers, and developers on behalf of the city.
