When looking to set your business apart and foster the Local First tenants many businesses look for local solutions. Items to sell that didn’t make it to our shores on a container ship. A diverse group of West Michigan business owners have found inventive ways to work together to set their business apart and go that extra mile for their customers.
Blue West Properties, a local real estate company, was searching for that special item that became a keepsake for new homeowners. Meghan Heritage, the principal, searched for that special gift and found it Locally!
