EDC Explains: What Is a Retail Gap?

Have you ever driven to another community to shop, eat, or access a service that isn't available in Anna?

That's what economic developers call a retail gap.

A retail gap occurs when residents spend money outside their community because a particular business, restaurant, store, or service isn't currently available locally.

Example: If you drive to another city to buy furniture, dine at a restaurant, or access a service unavailable in Anna, that spending supports the community where the purchase occurs. Those dollars can help fund public services, infrastructure, parks, and other community investments. That's why attracting businesses that residents already use is important.

πŸ’¬ What type of business do you currently leave Anna for?

Examples: 🍽️ Restaurants
πŸ›οΈ Retail stores
🎭 Entertainment
πŸ₯ Medical services
β˜• Coffee shops
πŸ‹οΈ Fitness facilities

One community. One future. One Anna.

Today, we joined Anna ISD in celebrating the beam signing for the new elementary school, Ora Bell Russell Elementary, an important milestone that reflects our community's continued growth and investment in future generations.

Strong schools, thriving businesses, quality infrastructure, and engaged community partners all play a role in making Anna a great place to live, work, and do business.

Congratulations to Anna ISD on this exciting achievement. We look forward to seeing this project come to life.
