Business is good in Leland, and businesses are flocking to the village. Leland boasts nine new businesses this season. Fishtown, Main Street, River Street, and South Main all have new businesses.

“Leland is full”, reports Leland Chamber of Commerce president Rick Lahmann. “We only lost three businesses, and we gained nine.” “Leland has roughly 50 retail locations, and they are all full.” New stores include Tack & Jibe and Sporck Tile Art in Fishtown, Epiphany on the south end, and Roxane II, At The Lake, Fishtown Sail Co., Leelanau Outdoor Galore, Momentum and Lasting Impressions Antiques in the central business district.

With the newly renovated Harbor & Marina, and the many new stores; all are looking forward to a great season.
