Helping communities learn to attract retail, teaching how data provides options, and real estate drives decisions.

We do this by:

EMPOWERING communities to ask for what they deserve.
EDUCATING communities on what similar towns have received.
EQUIPPING communities to approach retail partners in a smart way.
ENERGIZING communities to meet their true potential.

Retail Academy is a program developed from a leading national retail advisory firm, Retail Strategies. The program assists communities in strengthening their retail landscape. Communities will be trained and equipped with the tools and education necessary to attract new retailers to their markets, while providing support to their existing local businesses.

Tennessee Development Districts won a National Innovation Award at the 49th Annual National Association of Development Organizations Conference in San Antonio for launching Retail Academy. [link]
