Did you know?
Only about 20% of U.S. small businesses fail within the first year. By the end of their fifth year, roughly 50% have faltered. After 10 years, only around a third of businesses have survived. So many Women-owned businesses in Brookside have bucked that trend. Several of our most recognized businesses are women owned and have thrived for decades. Businesses like Foo’s Fabulous Frozen Custard, The Corner Candleshop, A Store Named Stuff, Brookside Gallery and Framing, Parallel Salon, the Brookside Barber and Lauren Alexandra have all found long-term success in Brookside.
And there’s a whole new a whole new generate of women owners from recent additions like Humanette, HomeGrown, LADYCO, EB and Co, and Jorjy, to new owners of long-term businesses like Brookside Toy and Science and the Brookside Dentist, to women owned franchises like barre3 and Stretch Zone
Brookside and the historic Brookside Shops are what they are today in great part because of the amazing women entrepreneurs and women owned businesses of Brookside. Please join us this month, during Women-Owned Weekend and year round in thanking them!
