Do you have a favorite restaurant that you would like to see open in Surprise? What about a unique shopping experience that you want added to your home town?
Tell the city in its 2017 Surprise Retail Survey.
City officials want to know how to make Surprise a one-stop shopping and dining destination, and will be giving away $20 Visa gift cards to five randomly-selected survey-takers just for offering their thought.
The survey will help the city to identify retail strengths within the community, as well as opportunities to bring additional amenities closer to home. Every response helps the Surprise Economic Development Department better reach the retailers you want the most.
The 2015 Surprise Retail Survey asked what restaurants and retailers you wanted city officials to target, and two of your top ten picks have already opened in Surprise – Oregano’s Pizza Bistro and Texas Roadhouse. Surprise is are still actively engaging with others on the list, and hope to see more of your favorites open up shop.
The survey runs through April 9 and is available online at www.surpriseaz.gov/retailsurvey.
