"It's on noteworthy Pike Street and that region has truly filled in its retail presence." 

She currently trusts different business visionaries and general society are prepared to join RCOV in betting everything on Pike Street. 

"It's anything but a chance to give all the more independent ventures, that don't have the capacity to sign a 1-to 2-year retail rent, the capacity to test a retail space with all the vulnerability emerging from COVID-19.
