A natural skincare shop, a feminist gift shop and a podcast studio are now open for business in their own Downtown Memphis storefronts, thanks to a retail initiative called Open on Main.
A partnership between Downtown Memphis Commission and Women’s Business Center South, the program provides emerging retail entrepreneurs with access to vacant storefronts on Main Street, where they can test their market strategies and contribute to the city’s retail ecosystem.
Open on Main offers rent-free opportunities for tenants to showcase their businesses for a temporary period of up to one year.
