Summary
Council heard a Retail Strategies update noting Trader Joe’s arrival and prospects including a Jay Alexander restaurant in the Smokey Bone space and an Altitude Trampoline Park in part of the former Kmart site.
At the Nov. 6 work session, a city official summarized a presentation from Retail Strategies, the firm the city has retained to attract new retailers to vacant storefronts.
The city official said Retail Strategies "has been involved in Trader Joe's coming to town" and listed several prospects: a Jay Alexander restaurant expected to occupy the Smokey Bone space and an Altitude Trampoline Park slated for part of the former Kmart site. The official framed the report as evidence the city’s retail recruitment work is continuing to yield opportunities.
Why it matters: Filling long-vacant retail space can increase foot traffic, sales tax revenue and local amenities. The official described the report as a periodic update; no binding agreements or council votes were recorded during the session.
What’s next: Council will continue to track Retail Strategies’ progress; staff and the firm will provide updates as negotiations and leases advance.
