October Roundtable: Wells Street Corridor & Cooperative Businesses

Join your fellow business owners and operators on Thursday, October 24th at 5 PM for a conversation co-hosted by PV Squared and the GBA about the Wells Street business corridor - it's specific needs and what makes it special, AND an open dialogue about cooperative/employee-owned businesses. We're seeing more and more businesses move to this model, and if you're curious about it, or want to just meet more business folks in your neighborhood - come on out!

Please RSVP HERE so we can let our friends at Four Phantoms know how many to expect. We will gather and talk, and then Trivia Night kicks off just as we're wrapping up - so we encourage you to stay, have friends meet you, and make a night of it.

You do not need to have a business in the particular corridor to attend - come join the conversation!
