The four businesses — Mayberry Jungle, Bene Esse, Handcrafted From The Heart and Quintessential — are reporting growth while its owners are keeping their focus on overcoming the challenges that small businesses have had to face over the past year.
For two of the businesses, challenges such as staffing have not been an issue.
“I’ve found most people understand that inflation affects our prices, and have still been supportive,” said Ariel Cartwright, owner of Mayberry Jungle, a flower and plant shop. “The costs of having an employee, however, have been too high for my young business to support, so I do most everything solo.”
Even with that, Cartwright said her business has been steady and that she is grateful for the support from the local community.
