Previously, we talked about the critical role on-site small businesses play in enhancing the quality of walkable neighborhoods. Micro-retail businesses help foster personal relationships between shop owners and customers, are more attainable retail spaces for first-time business owners, and are conveniently located for residents and visitors. Let’s introduce you to three of Culdesac’s micro-retail businesses: Dose of Youth, Sew Used, and Complete Comforts!
