What’s Next In Main St. Business Center

Prime Retail Suite Available! 

Main St. Business Center (more commonly known as ‘Knapp’s Corner’)—where Grand Rapids comes alive, day or night. Whether grabbing a Starbucks to fuel up, enjoying a show at the IMAX, indulging in froyo from The Pump House, or grabbing dinner at HopCat, something is always happening here. 

But now, there’s a new opportunity in the area, with a 2,028 square foot of retail space on the market—and the community is curious to see which business will take over next. 

A Vibrant Business District, Ready for More 

Main St. Business Center is ready to welcome a new business into this high-traffic space. Knapp’s Corner continues to grow, with new neighbors often entering the market, including Barnes & Noble, Yoga Six, Goldfish Swim School, Acapulco Mexican Grill, VCA Animal Hospital, Bank of America, and Qahwah House.

Strategically located in a regional retail node, Knapp’s Corner draws customers from all over the city—Rockford to the North, East Grand Rapids to the South, Cascade and Ada to the East, and suburban Grand Rapids to the West. Its convenient location and reputation make it a central gathering place for shopping, dining, and services.

Whether you’re a national chain looking to establish your first Grand Rapids location or a local business ready to grow, this retail space offers the ideal mix of visibility, convenience, and community vibe to help your business thrive.

What We Gathered from Employees

After surveying employees in the Main St. Business Center, here is what we gathered: 

  • One employee from Rocket Fizz, expressed interest in experiential businesses, such as craft studios or activity-based spaces that provide something unique. Specifically, she thought it would be ideal for a group of moms to host different DIY crafts sessions throughout all the seasons. 
  • Others mentioned, a desire for something that isn’t already in this strip, like Indian or Chinese food.

What Could Be Next? 

We’re imagining the possibilities… could it be: 

  • A smoothie bowl café
  • A clothing boutique 
  • A bagel shop or breakfast joint

Main St. Business Center has a solid foundation for success, with many tenants staying for 10-20 years and counting. Its consistent foot traffic and family-friendly atmosphere make Knapp’s Corner a reliable and vibrant attraction for businesses.
