“Believe it or not, there’s still a lot of people that don’t know there’s a bike shop in Altavista,” said Pate.
The Town of Altavista is launching the Distrx mobile app to bring attention to their downtown district.
Jessica McKay, manager of Main Street Café and Coffee, believes this is another way to connect with consumers during COVID.
Sandridge added any Main Street community across the country can set up the Distrx app, that way visitors receive notifications instantly.
“So, if you’re living in Florida, but you visit here in Altavista; if you have the app, you’re going to get a notification the moment you come into the downtown district,” said Sandridge.
