Something New on Selby: Rondo Exchange is Open

If you’ve traveled down Selby recently, you may have noticed something new at 856 Selby Avenue. Rondo Exchange officially opened on March 21, 2026, bringing a new small business and community space into the neighborhood. For the past two years, the Rondo Community Land Trust has been developing this space, building out 2,800 square feet at the corner of Selby and Victoria to support local entrepreneurs. The result is Rondo Exchange, a small business incubator that brings together retail, creative work, and community space under one roof.

Rondo Exchange Grand Opening!

Rondo Exchange is a new community-owned small business incubator developed by Rondo Community Land Trust. This space was designed to support creative entrepreneurs with affordable commercial space, structured technical assistance, shared services, and visibility within a collaborative retail environment. But more importantly, it represents something bigger. For decades, Rondo was a thriving Black commercial district built by entrepreneurs who served and sustained the community. While much of that economic ecosystem was disrupted, the spirit of innovation and cultural leadership never disappeared. Rondo Exchange is part of a broader effort to restore that economic and cultural presence along Selby Avenue.
