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 The Nautical Boutique at Norwalk Cove Marina!
Four questions with Rick Delfosse Business Manager at The Nautical Boutique at Norwalk Cove Marina.
Why did you start your business?
The Nautical Boutique at Norwalk Cove was added to the ships store in 2013 and features a selection of items for your home and boat as well as unique sea-inspired gift ideas for birthdays, weddings, showers, hosting and anniversaries. We are constantly on the lookout for new and unique items to add to our mix!
What is your best-selling product/service?
Our best-selling items are in the Nautical Décor category, followed by our Nautical Baby gift items.
How many local businesses do you use to support your business (products and services) and can you name them?
We purchase from all over the world but include items from Soundview Millworks and Mystic Knotworks. We work closely with (and get our lunches from) The Galley Waterfront Café at Norwalk Cove Marina.
We are always watching trends and trying to stay fresh and current. Getting through the Pandemic was tough, but we are back with more products and inspiration than ever!
Rick Delfosse and The Nautical Boutique nominates The Galley Waterfront Café at Norwalk Cove – "Recently expanded from a nautically themed coffee shop into a delightful grill serving breakfast and lunch, they recently acquired their liquor license and are serving wine and beer."
The Nautical Boutique at Norwalk Cove Marina is located at 48 Calf Pasture Beach Road in East Norwalk. Visit The Nautical Boutique at Norwalk Cove Marina online here, and make sure to check out their Facebook page as well!
