The October issue of Attention to Retail is out, and it’s packed with updates that show how much momentum we’re seeing across Louisiana. Chick-fil-A is expanding on the Westbank, Total Wine & More is opening in Shreveport, and Kirsten Early is thrilled to be representing Towne Center at Cedar Lodge in Baton Rouge, where she's handling the leasing for one of the premier open air shopping centers in Louisiana, owned by DLC Management.
Kirsten also shared a few takeaways from her presentation at the CID-NOMAR Forecast Symposium, along with a book she's been enjoying lately, Effortless by Greg McKeown. It’s been a great reminder that meaningful work doesn’t have to feel heavy.
