Napa Valley in 2025
Sarah Gillihan Communications can assist journalists with experts in the following areas. Let us help you connect with a source who can illuminate topics for your audience.
Creating Third Spaces, What’s Next for Retail: In addition to assembling a stellar collection of food purveyors and retailers, Steve Carlin and Gabe Carlin of the Oxbow Public Market, located in downtown Napa, have successfully continued to create that valued ‘third space’ for locals of this highly desired vacation destination. Not home and not work, a third space has become even more valued, especially as employers call people back into the office. On any given day, the Oxbow Public Market sees freelancers dropping in for coffee and meetings, groups of friends gathering for a beer at the end of the day, or moms getting a break between drop off and pick up. If you’re writing a piece on third spaces or the future of retail in downtowns, please contact us to discuss the 15 year success story at the Oxbow Public Market.
