CU Podcast Episode #02: Downtown Retailers
This week we explore the state of retail in Downtown Columbus and our guests include three Main Street retailers: Jeffrey Zettler of Zettler Hardware, Terry Daniels of CJ Daniels, and Yusuf Sadiq of Y Sadiq Diamond. Join us as we discuss the challenges they’ve faced, the successes they’ve seen, and their opinions on what the future of downtown retail looks like.

Anyone had a chance to give this a listen yet? I’m curious to get some feedback on what these three retailers had to say.
Oh, and FYI, this one is only 29 minutes long. The first podcast was a full hour, which was a bit much for weekly consumption, so from here on out the standard ones will be around 30 minutes give or take.

On a somewhat related note, the Dispatch is running a story today about “Dark Days For Retail“. The story talks about the problems that big retailers are facing this year, but doesn’t really talk about smaller retailers. Are they just being ignored in this article, or are smaller retailers not facing the same problems? Could this be a time for some of our smaller retailers and boutiques to really start to shine?
