Economic development outfit Team Rogers City recently told the community of four new downtown projects nearing completion:
∫ A new assisted care home, The Brook, recently opened.
∫ Woodland Confectionary, a candy store that will showcase local flavors, inspiration, and ingredients, is in the process of opening.
∫ Harborside Bath & Body, a Bath and Body Works-type store, should be open full-time in early 2021, but currently offers some products in the Northern Espresso shop downtown.
∫ The Mayberry, a wedding and event venue, is planned for the former site of the A.J. Super Service car dealership.
The earliest years of any business are the make-or-break years for entrepreneurs, so we encourage residents from across Northeast Michigan to make a trip to those establishments once they’re up and running and support local businesses.
