The Great Shop Showdown
Think you have what it takes to make it on Clematis St.? If you have an out of this world retail concept and think your shop is the missing piece on Clematis Street, then the Downtown Development Authority wants you to submit your concept to us!
The Great Shop Showdown is a competition where the winner walks away with free rent in a prime location for one year. But that's not all! The winner will also receive:
- A one-year advertising package; complimentary retail marketing services provided by the DDA and its advertising and PR firm, the O’Donnell Agency
- Start-up business consulting and loan of up to $25,000 from First Bank of the Palm Beaches
- Monthly retail mentoring services from SCORE
- A one-year membership with the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches
- And invaluable publicity in various traditional and social media outlets during the competition and at the announcement of the winning submission.
Due to the overwhelming response, we’ve decided to extend the deadline through Aug. 31 to accommodate a wider pool of applicants who have expressed interest in participating as a result of recent (and upcoming) national media attention. This also gives previous submissions such as yours even more time to continue to gather support for your concepts. We appreciate all your support of the Great Shop Showdown and Downtown West Palm Beach!
First step is submitting a 30 - 60 second video on our Facebook page.
