To kick off Women’s History Month, Cool Spring Downtown District has assembled a list that highlights women-owned businesses in the Downtown Fayetteville area.
Over the last few years, the Cool Spring Downtown District has grown at an unprecedented rate, increasing the number of women-owned businesses in the area. Of the 200 restaurants, retail stores, and service providers downtown, nearly 37 percent are women-led.
Molly Arnold, chair to the board and longstanding business owner, stated, "Becoming a business owner allowed me to share my passion for a revitalized downtown with a multitude of others and build a downtown community that welcomes women entrepreneurs."
