RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Mo. — Calling all small business owners.
The Edwards Realty Company is launching a program to create new opportunities for local businesses. It's called Pop Local.
Its first initiative is to offer three months of free rent to one local company to test a brick-and-mortar storefront at The Boulevard in Richmond Heights, starting this spring.
The winner also will receive up to $2,000 to help make their storefront vision become a reality, as well as gain publicity and marketing support to further encourage foot traffic into the new space.
The 1,380-square-foot space is in the heart of The Boulevard center, which is anchored by Crate & Barrel, Soft Surroundings and Maggiano’s across from the Galleria mall in St. Louis County.
