Why we're not throwing a party



Why we're not throwing a party

Even though it's our first birthday.


Arboro is our DIY labor of love.

 

We Choose You

We had big party plans in the works. It was going to be called 'Electric Garden Party' and feature a gorgeous glowing botanical theme complete with signature cocktails, flowers galore, live music, and a massive charcuterie table.

 

It would have been fun. Someday we will bring it to life and it will be a blast.

 

But we are entrepreneurs, who were formally teachers and are only one year into our small business. Our labor of love involved literal blood, sweat, tears, and a ton of new gray hairs (or as we call them, fairy hairs). It has been worth every pulled muscle, sleepless night, and every penny we've spent.

 

  • 21.9% of small businesses fail before they hit their first birthday.

    We are thrilled to be celebrating continued growth on our first birthday!


  • 50% of small businesses don't make it to their fifth birthday.

    We have plans for Arboro that go well beyond 5 years.

 

At Arboro Empowered, we help individuals and families thrive by equipping them with empowering experiences and resources.


We know that when Arboro succeeds, our community succeeds.


Not just because we are creating jobs and partnering with other local small businesses. But because the services we provide change lives, and there is nothing more motivating and important than that.

 

That's why instead of the party, we are investing in our community, Our Boro.

Imperfect in Arboro,


Jenna and Lindsay
