    Feasel of DeLand, Florida and the Rebirth of Downtown

    Work To Improve Your Community.

    DeLand, Florida: Meet John Gregory, his brother, Pete, and the people of this quaint town just northeast or Orlando.  John bought Feasel Paint and Glass from the founder then eventually sold it to his brother, Pete.  He says, "My best friend should be my fellow small business owner. We need to be talking with each other. We have bigger competitors to fight than each other. And by joining forces and joining heads, you know, we can generally come to a better resolve on what we need to do on a more local basis."

    Big business homogenizes. Small Business diversifies.  On the Main Street of this town they celebrate the rich variety of one-of-a kind shops owned by locals.  Just on the outskirts of town looms Lowes and Home Depot. How does a family-owned hardware store on Main Street survive? How can they compete?
     
    There are no simple answers. Small businesses must develop a many-sided customer relation that competes in value against the volume discounts of the "big box" retailers.  Editor's Note:  About ten years after this episode was first aired, Feasels closed its doors.  But, do visit Deland and walk  her Main Street;  buy something and talk with the folks. Encourage their esprit de corps for their continued Main Street revitalization. Cited by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as a "Great American Main Street" award winner.

    Many merchants working together have revitalized this historic business district.  They  have  learned that when you help others, you help yourself.

    Your business should challenge you to be better everyday in every way.
