This project is made possible by grant funding from , which is committed to building career pathways to economic mobility and strengthening small businesses to ensure all communities have an opportunity to thrive.

This first-of-its kind Retail Incubator will provide unprecedented support for emerging entrepreneurs while expanding diversity in business ownership and opportunity in Downtown Frederick.

The program is designed to help emerging retail entrepreneurs test and grow their business concepts in a supportive, lower-risk environment.

Incubator participants will be selected through an open application process. Downtown Frederick Partnership and SOUL Street plan to open the first round of applications in the spring of 2026. Visit downtownfrederick.org/retailincubator for more information.
