Vi ånder og lever for bylivet Det er dejligt at spare penge, men det er ikke det, der driver os. Vi elsker at få dig op af sofaen, væk fra fjernsynet og ud i byen, så du kan nyde kulturlivet og alle de lækre restauranter og butikker, du ikke har udforsket endnu. Vi elsker at skabe gode oplevelser, som du ellers aldrig ville have oplevet, og vi glæder os over at skabe trafik til de restauranter og butikker, som har gjort sig umage og fortjener opmærksomhed. Alle medarbejdere på Downtown er passionerede bymennesker, som går op i, hvad der rører sig, hvor, hvornår og hvorfor. Vi er hurtige til at spotte de nye steder, der åbner, opdage det, som også sker på de små sidegader og være de første til at høre om nye tendenser, arrangementer og events. Du skal nyde din by Kvaliteten af de oplevelser og produkter, vi tilbyder dig, er altafgørende for vores forretning. Vi tester, udforsker og prøver det af, inden vi giver det videre til dig. Lever det ikke op til vores kvalitetskrav, så kommer det ikke på Downtown. Sådan startede det hele Downtown kom til verden 7. maj 2010. Vi var de første, der lancerede konceptet herhjemme, og selvom vi vidste, at vi havde fået en god idé, og vi troede på, at det kunne blive en succes, så var der ingen af os, der havde fantasi til at forestille os det eventyr, der ventede forude.
