Private equity firms are destroying our town centers. And many of their businesses sit just outside of them in what I like to call “chain towns.”

You all know what they look like because they all look the same. One location looks like the other, and they have no heart or soul.

We must push back against them and make our town centers relevant again, filling each with independently owned, generational businesses. For if we fail to do so, we can kiss our towns goodbye and say hello to life in a CHAIN TOWN.
