Residents can weigh in on the next retail brand for College Station

Residents can suggest a store or shopping brand they want to see in College Station through the latest Shape College Station survey, which is open through Nov. 30 and takes less than a minute to complete.

The quarterly survey is led by Grow College Station, the city's economic development team. Residents can submit their suggestions at [GrowCollegeStation.com](https://GrowCollegeStation.com).

Grow College Station uses survey responses as current, community-sourced data in discussions with retailers, developers and site selectors. Resident input helps the city identify retail recruitment priorities and provide data about local demand, although retailers make their own decisions about entering new markets.

“Retailers are paying attention to College Station right now, and the strongest thing we can bring to the table is proof that our residents want them here,” Chief Development Officer Michael Ostrowski said.

The survey question comes as the city's retail landscape includes Sprouts, a new Aerie and Tecovas opening soon at Century Square, and the recently announced Bass Pro Shops.

Grow College Station will compile the responses after the survey closes and share the results in December on GrowCollegeStation.com and the city's social media channels. Shape College Station asks a new quarterly question about the restaurants, shops and attractions residents want to see.
