17 New Local Halifax Businesses To Watch Out For In 2017
With such a strong emphasis on supporting local businesses within our community, it’s important to stay in touch with the entrepreneurs that are working hard to make things happen in the HRM. 2016 saw lots of new small businesses opening up all over the city, offering second-hand clothes, beauty products, woodworking classes and so much more!
Considering the massive quantity of establishments that have formed in Halifax over the past couple years, we thought we’d put together an article that included a ton of new local shops and studios that you have to visit ASAP.
And don’t worry if a couple spots are missing – we’ll be putting out another article soon dedicated entirely to new restaurants, cafes and bars that have sprouted up in Halifax recently!
