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!
You're IT Bells Pilates!
Three questions with Janelle Biggs, owner of Bells Pilates.
Why did you start your business?
I started my business because after working for others for many years, I realized I could be brave and do this on my own. A former work colleague went out on her own and I knew I was also extremely capable and I went for it. I had a lot of support and encouragement from my family and I could not have done it without their support.
Finish this sentence in regard to your business: I wish I could...
I wish I could get more Veterans in the door for a program I am starting, Pilates for Patriots. I just started this program, which is free to all Veterans, and I am eager to give back.
Do you use any local businesses to support your business?
I collaborate with other businesses including PT Plus Physical Therapy, and Barefoot Living Arts. We happen to all be located in the same building and all have a common goal which is to help people live in a happier and healthier body. We often will seek out each other for an extra set of eyes or advice on behalf of a client. For this, I am truly grateful that I work where I work. I happen to be right next to a bunch of extraordinary practitioners!
