RETAIL OPPORTUNITY - COME AND TAKE IT!

The City of Gonzales and the Gonzales Economic Development Corporation recently hired The Retail Coach to provide retail market data and identify growth opportunities within Gonzales’ trade area. The data shows there are nearly 30,000 people living in the retail trade area. The retail trade area is expected to grow by 3.6% in the next five years. The median household income is $63,844.
