Congratulations on finding the perfect spot for your business! 🎊 Now that you know where you’ll be for the foreseeable future, it’s time to prepare your business, staff, space, and self for an opening that invites and includes the community.

If you haven’t yet researched about the community or talked with local residents and organizations yet, we encourage you to follow some of the action steps over in Before Signing A Lease first. You won’t be able to effectively implement some of these strategies without that knowledge or a group of engaged people to give you feedback.

Between signing a lease and opening your doors

How Are These Working for You?

If you are currently implementing any of these action steps and would like to discuss ideas, brainstorm solutions, or troubleshoot with a virtual community of like-minded folks, we encourage you to join our Discord server and post about your work in the #gentrification-hospitality channel.

Looking Ahead

Now that you’ve started the process of embedding important community-based values into your business, let’s put them into practice. The work continues in Upon Opening !
