New Business Adds 'Flavor' to Danville |
|
Please join us in welcoming Deb Greenly and Greg Ash, the owners of Flavor City Oils, the newest business to come to Danville.
Located at 551 Mill Street, Flavor City Oils will be home to a flavored olive oil & balsamic vinegar taste room. They will also carry balsamic based BBQ sauces, soy sauces & hot sauces, olive spreads, stuffed olives , and olive oil scented soap. All products are all-natural, vegan, and allergen free!
After meeting each other several years ago, Deb and Greg began visiting Oil & Vinegar stores and fell in love with the flavors. Now they are preparing to share these flavors with us by providing amazing natural oils and vinegar to the Danville area. "We want customers to feel welcome, to come in and taste as much as they want and to introduce our product to those who have never tried this before," says Deb and Greg. They hope to expand their customer base to surrounding areas. Flavor City will also offer online ordering and curbside pickup.
Deb and Greg note that they are grateful to many who were involved in the process of starting Flavor City Oils:
"Friends and family for offering so much insight to our dream; Matt and Liz Shaughnessy for offering their support; Eric Jaffin who helped us set up our POS system; Bob Brown who advised us with our web developer. Denny Hummer, from Bucknell Small Business Development Center, who gave such support and insight; the Danville Business Alliance who were very helpful and gave guidance; PB&J working with us to create delicious food for our grand opening; and the Columbia-Montour Chamber of Commerce. And finally my father, Warren Longenberger, who passed away in May and is not here to see this and I know he would be so proud. We could not have done this without him."

"Danville was an obvious choice [to start their business]; Up and coming - Mill Street is such a quaint street with great business," say Deb and Greg."This process happened so fast, from the space being available for the store to the community helping and giving guidance. The great town of Danville who has been so welcoming and kind."
The Danville Business Alliance is proud to have Flavor City as our newest business member and looks forward to working with them in the years to come.
Join us at Flavor City's Grand Opening on Friday, August 28 at noon! Until then check out their website www.flavorcityoils.com and 'Like' Flavor City Oils on Facebook!

Small Business COVID Resiliency: 12 Ways to Reimagine Your Business Model |
|
Creative Approaches from
Main Street America
Matthew Wagner, Ph.D., NMSC Vice President of Revitalization Programs, discusses 12 ways businesses can reimagine their business models to ensure both short-term and long-term success.
As we approach the five-month mark of the global pandemic within the U.S., Main Street businesses are still adapting to the ever-changing realities of operating a business during a public health crisis. Adjusting to reopening guidelines that change on a regular basis as conditions unfold, coupled with lingering safety concerns among many consumers and an economy hampered by millions of unemployed, has resulted in a highly volatile and cloudy situation for small businesses to navigate as they try to pivot to new consumer norms.
While not always easy, making a pivot is a normal practice and one that can be highly successful for businesses. In fact, the ability to pivot is a valuable business skillset that can provide additional long-term resiliency.

Help the Friendship Fire Co. Reach Its Ladder Truck Goal |
The Friendship Fire Company was established in 1841 as the first fire company in Danville. They are one of four 100% volunteer fire departments in the Danville Borough.
Their current ladder truck, a 2001 Pierce with an 85-foot tower, has served our community well; however, it is in dire need of replacement due to current mandatory safety regulation changes, and expensive unforeseen repairs. Over the past year, the current ladder truck has responded to a total of 167 fire, motor vehicle, and mutual aid calls throughout a 25-mile radius.
In order to continue to protect our small community, which includes four nursing homes, an elementary school, a secondary school, a high school, small local businesses and Geisinger Medical Center, an investment for a new ladder truck has become an absolute must!
The total cost is expected to reach $1.3 million dollars! Over $500,000 has been raised to date. Your much needed and appreciated donations to help support their efforts will provide them the opportunity to continue functioning as a vital part of our small community. Thank you very much for your time, consideration, and support in helping them achieve their goal to keep us safe!
