Downtown Northville business scene gets stirred up

A mix of several new businesses are calling downtown Northville home. In the last six months, says Lori Ward, executive director of the Northville Downtown Development Authority, at least six new businesses have opened. The most recent, Spinergy Fitness, a fitness and spinning studio, opened at 133 W. Main on Northville Square. In the same building is Limelight Emporium, a business space that brings the work of Michigan artists and entrepreneurs to local consumers. Its mission is to encourage consumers to make a conscious decision to buy Michigan-made. The Wealth Advantage Group has opened an office at 131 E. Cady. In September alone, three new businesses brought their business plans to downtown Northville. The Bricks of Northville restaurant opened at 133 W. Main, adding another destination for the square. Bricks features an outdoor eating area that can function nearly year round. Hearts of Inspiration, a gift boutique and provider of classes on table manners and social etiquette, opened on the square as well. And Bailey and Shamoun, an interior designer and boutique, relocated to 191 Cady Centre. Source: Lori Ward, executive director, Northville Downtown Development Authority Writer: Kim North Shine
