Bluefield study outlines restaurant recruitment plan
Bluefield State College faculty and students produced a marketing study for Bluefield to attract new businesses. It examined what it would take for sit down restaurants to succeed and which new eateries residents would support. The class found higher end chains may not locate in Bluefield due to population, income, and traffic constraints, though local owners suggested leveraging demographics through targeted strategies.
