LAKEPORT, Calif. – An open house this week will look at the city of Lakeport’s retail trade area and how local businesses can make use of a new study to expand and succeed.
The city of Lakeport, in partnership with The Retail Coach, will host the open house from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, and Thursday, Sept. 12, at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
In July, the city hired The Retail Coach to assist with recruiting more retail businesses to Lakeport and strengthening existing businesses, as Lake County News has reported.
The city and the firm recently conducted an assessment of Lakeport’s retail trade area and want to share the results with local businesses.
One of the findings was that Lakeport – which has about 4,700 residents – has a daytime population that balloons to an estimated 57,000 because of visitors, tourists, students and shoppers.
The focus of this week’s open house will be to help local businesses better understand the local retail market, identify new opportunities, gain more customers, understand gaps in the market, create a plan and discuss current trends, city officials said.
All local businesses are invited to stop by and check out the resources available to them.
For more information contact the city of Lakeport at 707-263-5615, extension 204.
