A group of New York City small businesses will be showcased at this season’s Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park.
The village will open officially on Oct. 25 and will run through Jan. 5, 2025. During this run, the Bank of America Small Business Spotlight program will highlight four local businesses to give them an opportunity to reach new customers. As a part of this program, Bank of America covers shop rental fees and coordinates the basic build-out of the shop.booth for the second year in a row, sponsored by Bank of America.
“Being chosen for the Bank of America Small Business Spotlight gave me the chance to test drive opening a store, and find out what I needed to troubleshoot behind the scenes to make opening a store a reality,” said Beck Forney, Owner & Creative Director, Louise Goods. “Having this experience enabled me to make critical changes to my production workflow before they became expensive lessons and allowed me to build a new layer of confidence.
The Small Business Spotlight booth can be found near the fountain, close to the 41st Street and 6th Avenue entrance to Bryant Park. The Bank of America Marketplace by Seneca Women booth will be located near the holiday tree behind the skating rink. The shops will be open weekdays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and opening day will begin at noon.Emily Davenport is the Digital Editor of amNewYork Metro.
