Spotlight on Fuse Prints + Hughes Floor Covering to open its second location in Indian Land
November 18, 2020
This week we spotlighted local printing company Fuse Prints and owner Chris Cannon. Chris seems to represent a decent percentage of this community who moved here from Charlotte to start a home-based business. I’m including myself in this count. As I get to know more members of this community, I am realizing just how many entrepreneurs live here. It is a beautiful thing.
Fuse Prints was our first small business spotlight in this format. We will continue to do these spotlights to recognize established local businesses. Got a local business you think we should spotlight? Email untapindianland@gmail.com.
Our second feature looked into the new retail center, Gateway at Indian Land. The first tenant will be Hughes Floor Covering, who plans to open by the first of the year. We also included a wide variety of happenings and talking points to share with you. We hope you enjoy! Remember, if you like this newsletter, please share!
