4 Reasons Why Alamo Should Be Your First Choice to Create a Start-Up

From La Plaza Mall in McAllen to multiple shopping and entertainment centers in Pharr and Edinburg, the areas surrounding Alamo have grown substantially in recent years. Alamo itself has grown at an impressive rate and is now home to such franchise locations as H-E-B, Walmart and Walgreens.

Although increasing in size and population, Alamo is still known for its tight-knit community and small-town feel. Aside from larger cities nearby, it’s still a great location for commerce. Now is a great time for promising entrepreneurs and businessowners to call Alamo home. The Alamo EDC has several amenities that can make your commercial venture successful, so let’s take a look at a few of them.

Customer Loyalty

Small businesses tend to excel in one area that larger franchises find trouble with – customer service. One of the main reasons customers shop at locally-owned businesses and mom-and-pop shops is because they love to feel valued and appreciated. Small business owners see the value in providing exceptional customer service, and it does not go unnoticed.
Oftentimes, clients don’t receive the attention they deserve with larger companies, so they prefer to shop small. Alamo offers workshops and training seminars that can help enhance the overall quality of your business to ensure customer loyalty.

Trends

Shopping at small businesses is actually trending right now. Local business supporters take pride in giving back to the community and can serve as walking advertisements for yours by spreading the word in-person or through social media. Be part of a city that encourages entrepreneurs to set up their businesses and grow alongside Alamo.

Business from Everywhere

People travel to South Texas year-round for its sunny skies and attractions. Close proximity to McAllen and an hour drive from South Padre Island makes Alamo a great place to set up shop. For example, with the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge attracting birdwatchers from all over the world, your business can be exposed to out-of-towners, thereby growing its brand and income.
