NOVEMBER 2023 SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
SOMEWHERE TO SHOP - Edgewater Candles - 1050 W Bryn Mawr
Mark Towns and Stephen Pearlman started pouring their own candles as a hobby just a few years ago and soon started selling in local shops, at craft fairs, online, and in their very own Bryn Mawr storefront which opened in 2022. Visit the store to shop candles and other unique gifts. Stop by local festivals and markets and you might also see the candle camper!
SOMEWHERE TO EAT - First Sip Cafe - 1057 W Argyle
Erin and Gigi Hoang grew up on Argyle working in their parents’ Cafe Hoang Restaurant. After graduating from local universities, they opened First Sip Cafe in 2017, becoming one of the first 2nd generation AAPI business owners in the Asia on Argyle corridor. Come by the cafe to study or chat and be sure to try a specialty drink!
