It Takes a (Middle) Village to Grow Lansing

The Middle Village Micro Market is a year long business incubator program that allows entrepreneurs to open their own retail micro storefront in downtown Lansing. Program members receive programming and marketing support while they grow their brand, build their customer base, and test the market before they open their own shop in the Lansing region!

The 2022 Middle Village Cohort has now graduated and is leveling up to their own shops! Three graduates are alumni of LEAP’s One and All Program, congratulations graduates!
We love seeing small businesses grow and succeed in the Lansing region.
