York & Main holds grand reopening party
Theresa Wells Stifel, owner of York & Main, celebrated her business’s recent expansion with a reopening party last Thursday. Wells Stifel’s business has welcomed 10 new female-owned businesses to bring a creative community into her new space right next door. Her new space was previously Art in the Village, which was owned by Kay Van Dyke.
“It’s exciting to be part of creative’s next steps,” said Wells Stifel. “When someone gets their business out of their house and onto Main Street, that’s a big step and so I am very gratified by that.”
Wells Stifel also said that having the “windows in to see these 10 creative people helps out to our knowledge that you can do this for a living.”
Businesses that reside inside York & Main include Poppy & Tea, Ronda Bowden, Riyah View Home, Memory Makers LLC, Karyn Gallion Art, Blind Bella Art, The Guilded Goose, Merry Susan’s Wares, Kitsch Emporium, Kay Van Dyke, Architect, and Theresa Wells Stifel, mixed media artist.
Wells Stifel said that there might be two more businesses coming in and that she is still considering more.
Other new things coming to York & Main are workshops as well as gift certificates for the workshops, which can be used for holiday gifts. York & Main will also have other events at its location.
The project was sponsored in part by the Main Street Preservation Trust and the Gloucester County Economic Board.
