Our story

THE BUILDINGS

Long before Space Between arrived on the scene, the three-building complex along Lockport’s West Main Street served a wide range of purposes. Barber shop, diner, grocery store, saloon, men’s clothing store, cigar shop and sundries – you name it, these three buildings provided it to the residents and visitors of the city dating as far back as 1842. And while those businesses are a long-distant memory, the buildings now serve a more up-to-date purpose: assisting companies as they strive to grow in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.

THE COMPANY

J. Fitzgerald Group (JFG) began as an advertising agency in January 2002, moving into 12 West Main Street in 2003. But even back then we were much more than just a typical agency. In addition to marketing work, we also conducted research, focus groups and product testing for clients all over the world – and developed employee recognition and sales incentive programs for companies big and small.

THE INSPIRATION

In 2016, the staff of JFG took part in a creative problem solving session. Afterward we had a few pints in our in-house saloon – “The Barge Inn” – and the idea for Space Between was born.

Combining the unique talents of JFG and select facilitators, Space Between is designed as a place to retool your thinking; to breathe new life into your company; and to unlock your creative potential. When you book a company experience at Space Between you’ll not only step back in time – you’ll also take a step towards a better future.
