April may be the cruelest month for grouchy poets, but it shone an awful lot of sunlight on Portland upstarts last month. These scrappy entrepreneurs opened spots in five of the city's "quadrants," including, but not limited to, several retail outlets specializing in gifts, home design, new and used fashions, and one-of-a-kind rediscovered treasures, as well as a nursery, a pizzeria, three cafes, two bars, a barber shop more...
Whether it's intended or not, Portland's newest indie business owners seem to be collectively trying to tell us something: Get fit, eat right and choose the right threads to show it all off. March brought with it the opening of a new yoga studio, a roller sport store, a bicycle repair and parts shop, and an athletic shoe store. Also opened were a new juice and smoothie bar, an urban farm and garden store, as well as a few shops more...
While new restaurants and bars ruled the business landscape of early and midwinter, late winter in Portland belonged to consignors, refurbishers and providers of vintage threads. While February brought new businesses specializing in baked sweets, cotton candy, authentic Iraqi cuisine, and chicken and waffles (plus fitness classes to work it all off), it also brought retailers of jewelry made from found fossils, resellers of gently used more...
The trend of new businesses seen sprouting up in October, November and December shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. A diverse array of businesses opened in January that, when cobbled together, include candy, pizza, bottle, and specialty burger shops, a Doctor Who-themed English pub, a modern musical and improv theater-cabaret-bar, and a retail store that sells, among other things, handmade oddities, antiques, sweaters, kimchi, more...
While many of us spent the last month scrambling to complete our holiday shopping and darting from one holiday party to the next, there were plenty of industrious Portlanders setting up shop all over town. Last month, no fewer than 16 local business owners opened their doors to the public, including a handful of apparel designers, a luthier and a hypnotist, as well as a collective of local artists hoping to inspire consumers with their more...
If November was an indication, December's going to be awfully quiet, because it looks like our mouths are going to be full... of food. And beer. And wine. At least 13 new restaurants and cafés opened in the last 30 days, celebrating a mélange of handmade Japanese noodles, Vietnamese sandwiches, smoked meats, tacos, tequilas, and Thai comfort food, as well as gluten-free vegan chocolate truffles and gluten-free vegan more...
In the last month, quite a few businesses opened their doors for the first time, including a new garage operated by a fellow who'll try to repair your bicycle within a 12-hour time frame, so you can ride it home from work. But some of these new businesses are actually old businesses undergoing various forms of expansion by either building up (Nuvrei Pastries is now also Nuvrei Pâtisserie & Café) or building out more...
When is a business more than a business? This month’s selection of new spots reaffirms the ideal that local businesses can, and should, do more than simply sell things. Portland now has a restaurant-quality kitchen space for community members to rent as well as a barbershop that will provide free haircuts for job seekers in need. We also now have a café that will function as a neighborhood gathering space and another sushi more...
