Retail and Restaurant Recruitment Services

The Downtown Development Authority of Fayetteville, Georgia is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive retail and restaurant recruitment services. The agency needs to identify and recruit retail and restaurant prospects while conducting outreach to brokers, developers, retailers, restaurateurs, and property owners. This initiative aims to solve the challenge of commercial vacancy and underutilization by implementing recruitment support, tracking performance, and analyzing the local retail and restaurant market. The scope of work covers market analysis, trade area definition, industry trend reporting, and commercial property inventory and redevelopment analysis. The selected partner must create recruitment marketing materials, facilitate stakeholder meetings, and provide dedicated account management. Additionally, the project requires economic development incentive and policy reviews, alongside the development of pop-up retail, activation, placemaking, and temporary-use strategies. Eligible bidders must be located within the United States, as the agency limits participation to onshore vendors. The agency requires the selected contractor to perform all work onsite in Fayetteville, Georgia. Bidders must submit proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal, and the agency is currently open to proposed budgets rather than setting a fixed price. The contract term spans a period of one year from the date of award. Interested parties must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 10, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the bidder's ability to fulfill the comprehensive recruitment, analysis, and stakeholder engagement requirements outlined in the scope.
