Does small business make a difference during a recession? Fenway Bark Does It's Part in a Ruff Economy

It has been a long journey with South Boston IPOD zoning and the City of Boston procedural processes that are required and I have been asked "Was it worth it?" 

Here is what I know for sure: The way out of the recession is investment in small business.

In the brief time since we received both of our ZBA approvals we have been able to identify future qualified employees and 50% are from South Boston (most live within a few blocks of Fenway Bark!), where unemployment approaches 20%.  When we are done hiring, we will have employed at least 20 people at the time we open with the potential to double that number as we expand our business.

In addition we have hired architects, seamstresses, exclusively patronized local restaurants (try Cafe Mamtaz, our personal favorite, at 87 L Street), identified construction specialists and are doing our part to stimulate the economy. 

Please support small business.  We look forward to serving you!
