Marshfield has lost many retailers in the past few years: Shopko, JC Penney, Younkers, Figi’s, Sears and Office Max to name a few. Other communities are experiencing a similar decline in bricks and mortar retail.
Join UW-Extension Community Development Specialist, Bill Ryan, and local chamber and city officials for an eye-opening conversation Tuesday, November 5, 7-8:30 p.m. at the Marshfield Campus. Discover the shifts and trends and what is behind all these closings.
Facilitators will review regional and national retail trends facing downtowns with success stories as well as discussion of challenges.
