LOCAL INSIGHT
Burlington's Church Street has to win over both visitors and locals
In April 2024 WCAX reported a nine percent vacancy rate on Church Street, according to Kelly Devine of the Burlington Business Association, with more than 10 storefronts empty at the time. Shoppers and residents told the station they worry that tourist oriented shops are crowding out options for locals, and Devine said fewer local people were shopping downtown. A shop there has two audiences with different needs, and its website and listings have to speak to both.
Visitors are a large part of the picture. Vermont's tourism study for 2024 counted about 16 million visitors who spent a record $4.2 billion, supporting 31,780 jobs, roughly 10 percent of the state workforce. Chittenden County, where Burlington sits, had the largest share at 24.5 percent, well over $1 billion. The 2023 study showed that $830 million of the state's visitor spending went to food and drink and $658 million to retail. Travelers search before and during a trip, and the results they see decide where that money goes.
Rankwyre builds websites for Burlington restaurants, shops and service businesses that explain the offer in plain words for out of town guests and regulars alike, and handles the Google Maps and local listings that visitors actually tap on Church Street.
