Exciting news for the retail scene in Downtown Iow

Exciting news for the retail scene in Downtown Iowa City! “In the Meantime” is a new pilot program aimed at attracting new retail concepts to downtown.

Opening this April on select days, ICDD has transformed the former White Rabbit space on S Linn St. into a hub for businesses exploring the Iowa City market, hosting special events, and pop-up shops. This initiative not only expands the city’s retail offerings but also supports Dubuque St boutiques impacted by construction with collaborative events.

Join us for the first event on April 24th, featuring a Willow & Stock Spring Floral Bouquet workshop.

Potential partners or retailers interested in utilizing the space or learning more can contact betsy@downtowniowacity.com or visit downtowniowacity.com.
