Launchpad Update
Our Launchpad winner, Marianne Wilson Stein, is moving quickly to open her new space at 109 W 7th Street in downtown Vancouver. As most of you know, Launchpad was a regional shark-tank-style competition providing a $40,000 community-sponsored grant to a new business locating into our downtown community.
Marianne will be opening Dandelion Teahouse & Apothecary, which will feature her specialty tea blends and skincare products. Her business will also host a makers space. Marianne has had great success at the Farmer’s Market and looks forward to opening a brick & mortar retail space in Spring 2021.
We will continue to follow this process and showcase it as she works to open shop, STAY TUNED!
Please give a big WELCOME to our newest downtown small business owner, Marianne!
