BRADENTON’S CONNECTED VIRTUAL MAIN STREET

Main Street isn’t disappearing.
It’s coming home.

One local place to discover businesses, find trusted services, support causes and share what you offer—while every participant keeps their own identity and customer relationships.

  • Independent storefront
  • Customers remain yours
  • Optional Main Street connection

MORE THAN A DIRECTORY

Your community—connected.

Bradenton already has businesses, creators, professionals, veterans, nonprofits and trusted groups. YourTownFirst brings them into one useful local experience without replacing what already works.

01

Your business home

Your brand, story, offers, pricing, contact information and direct customer relationships.

02

Your group connection

A permanent place for participating members to be found after a social post disappears.

03

Your Virtual Main Street

Optional shared discovery across Bradenton businesses, services, creators and causes.

YourTownFirst creates the local connection. Zazzzy provides the storefront technology. Each owner operates an independent Zazzzy-powered storefront and may choose to connect it to the YourTownFirst Virtual Main Street for local discovery.

WHY ANOTHER STOREFRONT?

You don’t need another place to sell alone.

You need a storefront you control—connected to a local Virtual Main Street where people can discover your business, your story and what you offer.

YourTownFirst does not ask you to surrender your independence. Your Zazzzy storefront remains your branded business home, while optional Main Street participation gives you an additional path to local discovery.

It’s not just another storefront. It’s your storefront—connected to your town.
01

Own your presence

Your name, brand, offers and business identity remain front and center.

THE WORKING MODEL

Walk through Main Street.

Discover participating businesses and explore examples of how a connected Virtual Main Street serves different community needs.

ONE SHARED MAIN STREET QR CODE

Effortless word-of-mouth referrals working for the whole community—24/7.

Every Main Street member can share the same community QR code with their own customers. Customers simply scan once to open the entire Virtual Main Street—no additional selling, searching or complicated steps. One scan connects them with every participating local business.

Breadsmith, John Bilicki III and Sheri Clinard Studio are proposed demonstration storefronts. Sample offers and pricing require owner approval before public sale. Joyz Medical Concepts and Learnetics AI link directly to their own websites for product and service information.

HELP & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Managing a Main Street listing.

Use this section when you need to update your storefront or request a change to the Main Street display.

How do I update, replace or transfer a storefront listing?

The process depends on whether you are editing your storefront, changing a Main Street feature or transferring ownership of the underlying business.

YOUR OWN STOREFRONT

Edit it—don’t start over.

Sign in to your Zazzzy owner back office to update your branding, products, services, pricing, contact information and policies. Your existing storefront link and customer connection can remain in place.

A MAIN STREET FEATURE

Request a listing or ownership change.

To remove or replace a featured storefront, send the updated business name, category, description, contact details, approved logo or image and storefront link. If the business is sold or transferred to another person or entity, provide the applicable sale or transfer documentation, new-owner information and updated storefront details. All changes require review and approval, identity and ownership verification, and may be subject to a service fee.

Before changing a listing: confirm the replacement or transferred storefront is complete, approved by its owner and ready for visitors. Changing a Main Street feature does not by itself delete or transfer the independent Zazzzy storefront account.
