Edwards Realty offers three months of free rent at Orland Park Crossing to small business owners
Orland Park, IL-based Edwards Realty Company (ERC), a boutique property management, investment, and development firm, announces the expansion of its Pop Local program to Orland Park Crossing.
The program, which has supported local entrepreneurs across the Midwest, focuses on giving small business owners an opportunity to gain awareness for their products in a traditional retail environment.
ERC is kicking off the program at the Orland Park Crossing on August 3rd, by offering one local entrepreneur or small business owner free retail space beginning in October 2021 for three full months through the holiday season and into the new year.
The Pop Local program is an additional initiative led by ERC to help invigorate an important intersection within Orland Park into a defined and vibrant centralized business district with its downtown Orland Park development project located across the street on LaGrange Road.
Through Pop Local, the lucky winner will gain unprecedented access and support to reach local residents in Orland Park and the surrounding area, as well as provide resources to build out their space and marketing support to draw attention to their business.
“Orland Park has been our company’s home for many years. Bringing our successful Pop Local program to this area is just one way that we can help small business owners get their businesses off the ground,” said Ramzi Hassan, President of ERC.
“We are thinking big picture for Orland Park by identifying opportunities to incorporate Orland Park Crossing into our overall vision for Downtown Orland Park. Our hope is that through this strategy and with programs like Pop Local, we can draw attention and interest from small business owners and local area residents to our community.”
Local small business owners and entrepreneurs who are interested in participating in the program can apply through an online application form at ShopPopLocal.com from August 3– August 31st. Submissions will be narrowed down to three finalists and the community will have the chance to vote for the winner online. Finalists will be notified at the beginning of September and the official program winner will be announced on October 1st.
Edwards Realty’s Pop Local program has been met with great success at its other lifestyle centers – Burr Ridge Village Center and The Boulevard St. Louis.
