After conducting a Consumer Survey in 2010, and polling shoppers, visitors and residents throughout the year, we have identified a group of core retail businesses that would thrive in our historic downtown commercial corridor.

We are aggressively seeking businesses in the following industries:

- Antique Shops

- Book store

- Clothing (women, children and men) & Accessories
- Drug Store
-Convenience Store
- Ice Cream Shop
-Gently Used Sports Equipment

While we are extremely proud of our heritage of family-owned businesses, we welcome the opportunity to work with franchises. Main Street wants to work with you to help make your dream of opening your own business in a successful downtown area possible! Visit our Open a Business page, under Business Opportunities, for more information.
