Tuscaloosa Downtown Merchants Association
What We Do
What do we do?
We bring together the businesses that
make downtown Tuscaloosa thrive
TDMA is home to a diverse and growing community of downtown business owners all working toward the same goal. Our member businesses span Restaurants & Bars, bringing the flavors and nightlife that draw people downtown. Our Retail & Shopping members give locals and visitors a reason to explore the district on foot. Through Health & Wellness businesses, downtown offers residents more than just a place to eat and shop — it's a place to take care of themselves. Our Professional Services members keep the district's economy well-rounded and rooted in the community. Arts & Entertainment venues bring culture and energy to the streets, and our Real Estate & Property members ensure downtown continues to grow as a desirable place to live, work, and invest. Together, these businesses don't just occupy downtown — they define it.
