Why are you doing it that way, Duke? You could just develop the real estate and move on to the next project. Why fund and operate all these small businesses? Well, sure, we could. But we want to do the best thing for the communities which means bringing the right business to the area right now instead of leaving it to fate. We want folks to see what we see in these neighborhoods - investment, inspiration and hope instead of blight and uncertainty. By involving partners within the community to help us identify potential business concepts, and create jobs, we’re shortening the time a storefront sits vacant and ultimately expediting the neighborhood transformation. So, when we talk about Dodson Companies, we’re talking about our family of companies. These companies may seem very different, but what they have in common is partners/leaders that share our core values, an emphasis on process, and a maniacal focus on the customer experience. There are quite a few of them now...more on those to come.
Why you doing it that way, Duke?
