The Reset Retreat: Yucca Valley

Who We Are

We’re a collective of over 30 local business owners and additional community members working together to make Downtown Fort Mill a thriving destination to live, work, shop, and play.

Through collaborative events, shared resources, and a unified voice, we aim to keep our Main Street buzzing — not just for visitors, but for the neighbors who call it home.

Embracing growth; preserving small-town charm.

The mission of the Downtown Co-Op is to enhance the relationship between small business owners in the Historic Downtown Neighborhood and the Town of Fort Mill government while representing the strength of our community to the entire CLT Metropolitan area.

Increasing communication between small business owners and the Town of Fort Mill will fortify a unification with the same goal: for Fort Mill to continue to grow economically and culturally.

Impact On Downtown and Small Businesses

why it matters

As everyone arrives, we take time to settle in, get comfortable, and begin connecting with those around us. The journey starts here.

✔️ Increased foot traffic

✔️ Businesses collaborating instead of competing

✔️ Downtown becoming a destination, not just a pass-through

✔️ Community pride and engagement

Day Two

Set Intentions & Reflect

Together, we pause to consider our goals, hopes, and direction. This is about aligning with ourselves and with the journey ahead. This is a chance to reconnect with what brought you here—your questions, your hopes, your turning points—and consider how they’ve shifted or deepened.
