Why Small Businesses Matter
Shop small, do big things for your community
Why Small Businesses Matter puts a spotlight on the local merchants who donate their time, talent, goods, and services for the betterment of our community. The shop local movement spreads virally as local businesses who are “tagged” have the opportunity to share their story
Meet Mary and Jim Villamana Founders of Expedia Cruises!
Editor’s note: Mary, a native of Newtown and Jim, originally from Ridgefield, opened Connecticut’s first Expedia agency in early 2019 at 67 Federal Road in Brookfield.
Why did you start your business?
As empty nesters, we wanted to travel more and see the world. It's a win-win for us to integrate that into our work. It's a fun and exciting industry, we enjoy sharing our experiences and passion for travel and want to help people plan their trips too.
What are your most requested products or services?
Cruises is #1 followed by European land tours and all inclusive resorts. Our tagline is Air, Land and Sea vacations which sums it up well.
