Broad Avenue (2013)
Born from the idea that retail plays a vital role in revitalizing neighborhoods, MEMShop activates vacant storefronts – for days, weeks, or months – to help build local businesses and increase a community’s visibility and vibrancy. Broad Avenue was the start of our incuabator/accelerator program model. See the video below to hear what our MEMShop neighbors think about the program.
MEMShop creates partnerships to activate spaces, test business concepts, and provide business managerial assistance and support services to help sustain and grow local businesses.
Here are the pioneers of the MEMShop six month incubator/accelerator program. These 6 MEMShops launched on Broad Avenue beginning in the spring of 2013:
