Great until 8 Main Street program

Main Street Thermopolis will launch “Great until 8” to promote businesses in Hot Springs County to stay open until 8PM on the second Saturday of the month, beginning Saturday, October 9.  The promotion starts with downtown businesses with plans to invite additional businesses to participate as the program expands.  The program will be marketed to both locals and visitors.

“With several Main Street communities in Wyoming launching similar types of promotions, we came up with this idea tailored to our community” according to Main Street Thermopolis president, Suzanne Samelson.  Samelson went on to add that “several of us, both board members and “friends of Main Street” brainstormed on how to get this going.  We see this as a partnership between Main Street and the businesses, with Main Street doing newspaper and social media advertising, distributing a list of the businesses, and the businesses also doing promotion on their social media streams”. 

The following businesses have committed to participate and will be open until 8 p.m. or in the case of some of the food establishments until later than 8 p.m.:  Aunt Teak and Uncle Junk, Bangkok Thai Restaurant, Discover Thermopolis/Print Zone, Elle’s Restaurant and Bar, Flying Eagle Gallery, Lazy Fox Artisan Goods, OEB Saloon, One Eyed Buffalo Brewing Company, Roundtop General Store, and Three Sisters Gallery.  

 The program encourages a commitment of 12 months.

A map and flyers will be distributed closer to the event.
