The retail industry is nearly upside down right now, with forced closures due to the coronavirus and the ensuing economic recession likely forcing many retailers to close for good or significantly reduce their size.

One thing you can count on after all the dust is settled: the entrepreneurial spirit of Amy Lynn Chase. Chase has been slowly building her small Worcester and Hudson empire for about a decade now and has shown a true knack for community building and offering unique experiences. Even if her five businesses take a significant hit during the coronavirus fallout, Chase can use these talents to forge a way forward in the new economy. Her Crompton Collective was one of a handful of businesses laying the groundwork for the Canal District to become the hot Worcester neighborhood, upon which the Worcester Red Sox stadium will be built. Crompton and her Canal District Farmers Market are ways for more than 100 creative makers and food vendors to sell their wares directly to the community.

What makes Central Mass. unique? We are a big city looking out for each other like a small town would. Our community is caring, giving, and generous.

Glossophobia: I’m completely terrified of public speaking.
