New VIP Program The Historic Charles Street Association (HCSA) has launched a new program to encourage people who live and work in the area to buy locally. HCSA is soliciting retailers, restaurants and businesses on Charles Street to offer discounts or specials which will be listed online at www.CharlesStreet.net.
In return, the HCSA is issuing VIP discount cards to fellow members, their employees, tenants and guests. These cards have the link to the website printed on them so holders can view who the participating businesses are, and what specials are offered.
The HCSA is already distributing single-use VIP discount cards to our members, including apartment buildings, hotels and commercial office buildings.
HCSA’s mission is to support local businesses and attractions in the Historic Charles Street district, and with the launch of this program we hope to retain and grow the businesses along one of Baltimore’s most treasured main streets.
For information, email Michele Coiron.
