Clarksville Chamber hosts national seminar to help businesses overcome slow economy

January 23, 2010 |

The Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a national business seminar to help keep local businesses strong in a slow economy. “While the economy in Clarksville remains strong, outside influences can domino into our economy,” said James Chavez, president and CEO of the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce. The seminar, entitled “High Performance in a Low Economy” is being presented by international business consultant and speaker Patrick McGaughey.

In recent months, business associations including Realtors and Home Builders have said, “Pat’s take on the economy is right on and his solutions make so much sense.” McGaughey indicates that the low economy has become a perfect excuse to procrastinate or simply not do business. Fears and indecision go hand in hand to hurt all businesses trying to move forward. “We focus on helping businesses help their customers in making courageous purchasing decisions,” McGaughey said. “Building courage back into our customer base is the foundation of this presentation,” he added. «Read the rest of this article»

Exit 1 growth explosion continues: Cheeseburgers, Ice Cream and O’Connor’s woo neighbors

December 20, 2007 |

Residents who live near Exit 1 in Clarksville have seen a level of growth in the number of homes and businesses which begs the question, “how did THAT happen?” Congestion has given way to newly widened and repaved roads, along with the opening of Tiny Town Road’s improvements. A stop light has been added to the west bound exit of I-24, which is a breath of fresh air to motorists who have struggled with the intersection. If nothing else, these road improvements are a clear indicator of major developments in the area.

However, one doesn’t have to look very far to see this development. This month, Cheeseburger Charley’s and Cold Stone Creamery opened brand new locations with a grand opening that drew hundreds on a cold, wet Saturday. The stores are located in a strip mall in an outlot of the Great Escape Theatre at the corner of Tiny Town Road and Trenton Road. Construction has begun on what is rumored to be a new Walgreen’s store. O’Connor’s, a new Irish pub & grill, will open at the intersection of Tylertown Road and Trenton Road later this month. «Read the rest of this article»
