“Atlantic is a great town with a ton of opportunity. It was great to see that up close and in person. The Mayor, council and city staff are great assets to the City and have helped tremendously throughout the retail recruitment process. There is a lot of interest in Atlantic right now, and we’re looking forward to an announcement in the near future,” Kyle Cofer, Project Director with The Retail Coach stated.
