As Spring gets closer, more and more businesses are opening.

Leland Mercantile and Stone House Bread have been open every day, all winter. Leelanau Books has been open six days per week. Molly’s, Harbor House, Tampico, Becky Thatcher and Sisson’s Main Street have been open on many days.

Now already in early March, Art of Roxane, Two Fish Gallery, Green Goodness, Leland Toy Company, Reflections and others are opening more and more for the 2011 season. Many more will open in April.

This list is likely not all inclusive, but it shows that the “season” is already beginning. In March and April, it is always best to call ahead.
