In just 16 months, Gary Broidis and Larry Brooks have taken the Boca Raton-based Retail Bus Tour from a networking alternative for local real estate professionals to a growing multistate operation.

Following the success of tours in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, company co-founders Broidis and Brooks realized the concept — in which more than 150 retailers, brokers and property owners pack multiple buses and tour most of the large shopping centers in a particular market — could be applied to most U.S. cities. The duo has since hired regional directors in several markets beyond the tri-county area and scheduled 2012 tours in Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Atlanta and Tennessee. They envision similar tours running annually in Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere.
