Mt Clemens welcomes five new businesses

Sure, having a business downtown is good for visibility and traffic, but it also gives owners the chance to be a part of a community.

So says Arthur Mullen, executive director of the Mt. Clemens Downtown Development Authority, as to one of the reasons five new businesses have moved into downtown spaces recently.

"I think a lot of businesses are choosing downtowns because they’re not alone," he says. "Fellow businesses owners are working together to help each other."

Since the beginning of the month, five new businesses have joined the restaurant, retail and office space downtown: Bodhi Seed Yoga & Wellness Studio, the MINDs Eye Bookstore, marketing firm Hunch Free, TGM Skateboards, and Handbags of Hope.

"I think that they're looking for a good location to invest, and they think Mt. Clemens is that good location," Mullen says. "We're always excited when someone is willing to try their idea in Mt. Clemens. They chose us for a reason."
