New businesses popping up throughout downtown Dearborn

New businesses are starting to pop up throughout Dearborn's east and west downtowns with the frequency of a whack-a-mole game.

Dearborn's west downtown has three new businesses. Among them is Encore Exchange, a resale shop at 22819 Michigan Ave., which offers designer clothing at affordable pricing. Nearby is Sophia's, a "giftique," specializing in home goods and gifts. It's in the former Lilly Boutique near Howard Street and Michigan. New to West Village Commons, near Au Bon Pain, is Exclusive Styles, an upscale clothing boutique offering men's and woman's clothing.

On the east side of town, Brick Oven Bistro opened at 4656 Greenfield Road. The Italian bistro is a relaxed, casual and family friendly establishment, serving dishes such as beef carpaccio and thin-crust pizzas made in a wood-burning brick oven.
