Retail Storefront Accelerator

Opening a storefront in a prime shopping location like New York City presents a significant challenge for any retail entrepreneur aiming to establish a sustainable business. Recognizing this challenge, the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to supporting retail entrepreneurs in elevating their businesses to new heights by facilitating the process of opening a brick-and-mortar location in Manhattan.

Through this initiative, the Chamber endeavors to assist small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) while also contributing to the commercial revitalization of the area through storefront development. The program is designed to empower, connect, and accelerate entrepreneurs, providing them with the necessary resources and guidance to successfully launch and maintain a sustainable storefront business in the competitive landscape of Manhattan.
