Discover Downtown Westbrook is collaborating with the Immigrant Welcome Center (IWC) to launch the Westbrook World Markets project from a domestic trade grant received in 2024. This initiative focuses on expanding the marketing and sales reach of five immigrant-owned international food markets located in downtown Westbrook. Through this effort, the market owners will receive business advice from IWC’s Business Hub, graphic design support from ETHOS, and marketing assistance from M Social Media.
