Explain what type of businesses you observed and give a description of the variety and quality of merchandise displayed. we were in Cimarron we took advantage of many different businesses that were available. We received a quick tour of the historic hotel (it wasn’t labeled so we didn’t know what it was but some very friendly local women took us there). We – then did some shopping at Clarks Drug and Blush Boutique both wonderful assets – to this community it’s always nice to see young people invested in their – community. We saw that in Cimarron there are a lot of business that will fit the needs of community members or people just passing through; flower shop, restaurants, hotels, hair salon, carpet/flooring, vet, liquor store, auto supply, grocery, pharmacy, boutique, gift shop, soda fountain, and many other businesses. When we talked to the 2 ladies by the library they told us not to miss seeing the old fashioned soda fountain at Clark’s Pharmacy. We definitely did some economic development at Blush, the boutique! The City Hall was located Downtown, as was the County Courthouse which headquarters not only the County Government but the local police, fire and emergency services. There seemed to be plenty of street lights in the downtown area, although I did not personally observe them illuminated, since my visit was conducted during the daylight hours. There were a variety of business in Cimarron. A full service lumber yard, a combination upscale women's boutique, old fashioned soda and ice cream counter and full service pharmacy. An interior decorating store featuring carpet and home improvement coupled with the weekly newspaper all in the same building across the street. A clean and modern Motel, several restaurants including fast food, Mexican, and American Menus. Describe the customer service received when you entered those retail businesses. (Were you greeted? Did you have to ask for assistance?) Customer service was fantastic at all locations! Everyone was very warm and friendly. They made us feel very welcomed to the community. The also offered tips on what all we could do in Cimarron, answered any questions we had, and informed us of fun changes coming to the community. Overall, everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had to ask for directions and help from multiple people, and everyone was overwhelmingly helpful and kind. For example, when we didn’t know what the historic hotel was, two women walked with us to ask for a tour.
