Market Landscape
Road projects that restrict access to storefronts often reduce foot traffic for small Bismarck businesses for the length of the work. The reopening of Ottawa Street gives local shops like Meg-A-Latte a chance to recover the customers they lost during the detours.
Customers who avoided Ottawa Street during the summer can now drive directly to Meg-A-Latte again. The shop's complimentary cinnamon roll offer gives shoppers a free item with any drink purchase.
The takeaway
Road construction that closes access to a small business can cut its customers for months, so shoppers who return after reopening help local shops recover. Supporting neighborhood coffee shops after construction ends is a simple way to help them regain their footing.
