A new, women-owned business collective is set to open in the Warehouse Block early next year. Say hello to The Willow: A Blooming Collective, coming to us from Avena Kiely, owner of The Grove + Dani Dunmire of First Dance Lexington.
Setting down roots in the former Blushery spot on National Avenue, the multi-purpose space hopes to house a variety of businesses including a wine bar, a coffee + smoothie shop, and a reservable space for fitness and dance classes, workshops, and gatherings.
Now, this is where you come in. The collective is hoping to add more female entrepreneurs to its community. Think: artists, creatives, aspiring baristas + juice makers, florists, and more. If you (or someone you know) have a business and are looking for a smaller additional satellite location, or you’re just getting started and want to connect with a collaborative community — The Willow wants to hear from you.
