What people say
- Retail Academy has given me the foundation to feel confident when reaching out to potential retailers and bringing them to our community."
Justin Longino
- Town Manager
- Boiling Springs, North Carolina
- My Retail Academy book stays on my desk. The research and market analysis were eye-opening. Of the eight prospects on our list, we have landed two of them so far. We had all the information ready when we connected with the retailer – that’s what made this so invaluable.”

- An investment in retail retention and recruitment can increase jobs, local tax revenue and quality of place. We want Tennessee communities to think long term about investing their ARPA dollars in a creative way versus merely spending them. This is the first-time localities have received a direct allocation of cash, and we are confident these communities will use the funding that will have a lasting impact.

- “Retail Academy is an outstanding and comprehensive program that I would highly recommend. Retail Strategies provided us with a Retail Recruitment Plan identifying retailers that match our market. Their team also spent time giving us the tools and skills needed to execute the plan and support existing businesses in our area. We left the workshop with a better understanding of our market and greater relationships with the dedicated partners and leaders from the county.”

- Mississippi County, Arkansas
- I would recommend any city take this course to improve their retail impact in recruiting for businesses to locate within their city!

- The Retail Academy workshop was great. It was helpful and the motivation we needed to shift some focus from manufacturing recruitment to restaurant and retail. I think there is some great opportunity for us, we just have to go get it.
