Join Virginia Main Street (VMS) for an immersive half-day Rev Up workshop focused on Retail and Small Business Support! This interactive session, led by Retail Alliance, is designed to equip Main Street leaders, small businesses, and local partners with the practical skills, tools, and confidence needed to support independent retailers, strengthen downtown districts, and foster long-term economic vitality.

Participants will explore four core principles through real-world examples, hands-on activities, and community-specific discussions:
• Understanding and utilizing retail and market data
• Small business retail leasing
• Supporting retailers after opening and throughout their growth
• Pathways to property ownership

Held separately in four different locations across the state, communities have the option to select which Rev Up workshop they'd like to attend. Training content will be the same at all three workshops so choose the location that's most convenient.
