Four hours that change how you see everything

Join us for a half-day workshop for aspiring brick-and-mortar retailers who are serious about getting open — and want the insider knowledge to do it right. 

In one morning, you'll walk through the real timeline from idea to signed lease, learn what it actually costs to get open in the DC Metro area, and leave with a clear picture of exactly where you are in the process and what your next step is.

You'll work through two hands-on exercises and leave with printed tools you can use immediately: a timeline to map your own journey, and a budget worksheet that shows you what your concept might realistically cost to open.

Your store is calling. Let’s get to work.
