On Thursday Wilmington Mayor Dennis P. Williams joined Councilwoman Hanifa Shabazz and Martin Hageman, executive director of Downtown Visions, to celebrate the grand opening and ribbon cutting of start-up businesses as part of the Delaware Economic Development Office’s (DEDO) Project Pop-Up program.
Project Pop-Up gives entrepreneurs an opportunity to open their business in a commercial space, rent free for three months during the holiday season.
This year, all Project Pop-Up businesses are minority or female owned, a first in the program’s three year history.
“Project Pop-Up represents an opportunity for the City to transform vacant spaces into vibrant retail establishments,” said Williams. “These retail shops will offer customers new retail options in downtown Wilmington.”

London Rocks Kids kids clothes
MIZ INK men’s image consulting
