On the corner of 6th & Main, Local is Lafayette’s newest experiment in bringing fresh ideas to life. Two white-box storefronts are ready for retailers, makers, and creators who want to test, launch, or grow. Rent the space for 30 days, set up shop, and see what happens when your concept meets real customers. Whether it’s a limited-edition drop, a creative collab, or your first big leap from online to IRL, Local gives you the keys (literally) to try it out without the long-term commitment.

Brought to life by the Downtown Lafayette Business Owners Association, MatchBOX Studios, and the City of Lafayette with support and partnership from The Heartland Concept, Indiana Economic Development Corporation, and First Merchants Bank.

Remarks & ribbon cutting at 2:30 pm.

How to Own a Business Without Starting One
Entrepreneurship doesn’t always mean building from the ground up. In this brown-bag lunch session at MatchBOX, Pat East and Mikel Berger will introduce Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA), a career path where people buy and grow existing small businesses. We’re keeping it casual and conversation focused, with plenty of space for discussion and Q&A. The goal is to gauge local interest in ETA, share practical insights, and explore the potential for a stronger community around it in Greater Lafayette and beyond.
