Firefly Salon

Last night, I learned of two College Park businesses that closed in the last few days. My heart breaks for these small business owners who brought their passion to our community and we failed to support them. This is another reminder that with the cost of goods rising, our local restaurants and shoppes need you now more then ever. A small business owner typically is a passionate, creative person that risks everything to support their dream. Small business owners are not in the business of becoming millionaires but instead provide their passion for a niche service, product or food/beverage to a particular community, sometimes these business owners even go without a paycheck. When I discovered College Park twenty years ago, I knew it was special. The tight knit community reminded me of where I grew up in the suburbs of NYC. The architecture, history, brick streets, bustling stores and restaurants were charming and organically different from the Florida I knew at that time. I love this community, which is why I have given my whole heart to running a business and raising my family here.

A few days ago I stopped at Infusion Tea and watched a husband, wife and their children run the family business together ♥️ This is why College Park is special!! If you love this neighborhood and love living here, your support is necessary to keep the charm alive.

As we gear up for the holidays think about buying a gift from Good Crowd grabbing a meal at Tornatore's Ristorante and Italian Market, Café Linger, The Tap Room at Dubsdread, Ollie’s, Jade Sushi & New Asian or any locally owned place I may have missed. Perhaps you can purchase dog treats at Woof! Orlando (instead of online), or treat your pooch to a bath, haircut, overnight stay/day of play. You can even sprinkle your home with some holiday accessories from B Home. Purchase a kids Christmas gift at Yaya + Lou, or Nevermind Millie, stay healthy at New Moon Market and . Don’t forget to stay beautiful with Firefly Salon. Treat yourself or a loved one to handmade leather goods from Form·Function·Form. If thinking about all these things makes you tired, go get caffeinated at Cups and Pups Coffee 😆
College park needs you and more importantly, the families running the businesses of College Park need you! We will miss you El Vic's Kitchen and Thai Farm Kitchen Orlando , best of luck to you!
