The Retail Coach is hands-down one of the best consultant teams of any kind that our team has had the pleasure of working with. Their extensive expertise and nationwide connections with site selectors, developers, and major chains have opened up new doors for the City of Lancaster, allowing us to take our recruitment efforts to the next level and collaborate with brands that hadn’t previously considered our market. They work as an extension of our staff, anticipating needs and freeing up in-house staff time. I can’t recommend The Retail Coach highly enough.

"One of the initial tasks The Retail Coach team did was to visit Sweetwater to put eyes on our market, learn about the unique challenges and opportunities of the community, and identify prime retail sites in our market. This allowed them to build a customized approach in recruiting efforts tailored specifically to Sweetwater. TRC can provide data-driven reports and analysis using mobile data analytics programs, which has proven invaluable information when speaking to retailers and brokers. Our team collaborates closely with them on bi-weekly calls, during which we discuss strategies that align with Sweetwater's vision, the long-term vision for retail development, and the steps each party needs to take to accomplish the vision."

"The Retail Coach organization has a proven track record of accurately portraying a community, providing the information needed to help prospective retailers see the community. They are well respected among retail chains and retail site locators. They take the time to visit the community- boots on the ground if you will and they will visit with retailers and learn all they can about the community before publishing their work. Another factor in this is the company is constantly seeking out new technology to improve their results- they have the tools and the talent.

"The Retail Coach [have] proven themselves as a great partner for the City and helped open many doors with retailers and developers that we weren't able to reach before. We have worked with other retail consultants and the level of expertise and support from The Retail Coach team has far exceeded what we've gotten from the other firms we've worked with. We already highly recommend them."

With the city's growing population, the Kingman Airport Industrial Park expansion, increased tourism, and planned new interchanges and bypass, The Retail Coach's expertise in retail recruitment has been invaluable. Their professionalism and dedication have significantly boosted our economic development."
