Middle Village Micro Market is an incubator space that allows retail merchants to test the Lansing market, grow their customer base, and build their brand while also diversifying shopping opportunities for those that love unique local items! Middle Village Micro Market is now accepting applications for the 2023/24 Cohort. Merchants rent storefront space as part of the year-long program where they will build their brand, increase their clientele, and earn capital! Merchants also receive monthly business training sessions, weekly financial counseling, and marketing exposure. Those who complete the program and wish to open permanent locations downtown will continue to be supported by Downtown Lansing Inc. and its network of partners.
“Middle Village Micro Market has allowed us to build a sustainable model for addressing vacancies Downtown, diversify our business mix, and start the transition to around-the-clock shopping options for those that live, work and play downtown.” Cathleen Edgerly, Executive Director. 2023 is your year to open a storefront and take your business to the next level in Downtown Lansing!
