Purveyors of Quality Goods The newly remodeled Warehouse MRKT on Hall Street is a swanky looking place these days. The building owned by Dan and Meridith Falconer has been under construction for what seems like forever, but it is finally taking shape. With its walls of gleaming glass and a chic industrial finish, you could easily think you’ve stepped into a major city block. And one of the most anticipated store openings inside is Dan and Meridith’s own store, named Wood + Cloth and opening any day now. Meridith tells us, “We will offer an array of home goods, furniture, apparel, gifts and unique food items. We also have a selection of Found items we will be selling. We can't wait to be part of the Warehouse MRKT community and are looking forward to celebrating our opening.” 144 Hall St., No. 101. 231-392-6968

Small Business, Big Celebration It’s that time once again for the race to begin of who will be this year’s Small Business Celebration Winner. Last year, top honors went to Oryana. The chamber’s celebration is entering its eleventh year, and the goal is to recognize, embrace and reward what our region is rich with, small businesses. The program begins with a nomination process. From there, a panel of judges selects the top 10 businesses to be recognized. The process ends with the prestigious Hagerty Small Business of the Year Award. Good luck to all. Here is a scoop on the timeline, with all events taking place at the Hagerty Center: March 25th Candidates Showcase, May 5th Meet the Top 10 Breakfast and May 28th Awards Celebration. tcchamber.org
