Chamber good news: Plymouth named one of Michigan’s best in business
A personal finance website has named Plymouth one of the best cities in Michigan for starting a business.
Plymouth was ranked third, after Auburn Hills and Traverse City, on San Francisco-based NerdWallet’s list of the top 15 cities in the state in which to go into business. The list was released last week.
Among the pluses the site listed for Plymouth were the average business revenue ($1.28 million), the unemployment rate (4.2 percent) and an “impressive” number of businesses for every 100 people (nearly 20). A “picturesque downtown” and a lineup of public events like concerts and festivals were also noted.
The high ranking wasn’t a surprise to Teresa Pilarz, owner of Espresso Elevado, a specialty coffee shop that opened in 2011. Research told her the type of shop she wanted to open would be a good fit for Plymouth and four years of growth have confirmed the city was the right choice, she said. Read more: Hometownlife.com
