Calling New Businesses In Pelham: We Want To Tell People About You

PELHAM, NY — We know how hard it is to open a new business. Finding the right location. Negotiating the lease. Furnishing the space. Hiring the right staff. Is there enough money in the budget for advertising? There’s never enough, right?

Well, we believe every new business has a story worth sharing with the community.

And that’s what’s behind this series at Patch — to shine the spotlight on new businesses, and to give them a chance to be discovered.

We’ve created a simple way for new business owners — if you’ve opened your door within the past year — to answer a few quick questions. Your answers will come directly to Patch’s editorial staff, and we’ll publish them in Q&A format articles for the community to read and share.

If you’re a small business owner and you’d like to see your business in the spotlight, please answer the questions below.
