Bella gia at Sept 19 bd meeting presentation

Congratulations to Bella-gia Boutique and The Prom Shoppe, the Village?s Economic Development Commission (EDC) Business of the Month [ [link removed] ] for September. Village President Ryan Kauffman, along with members of the EDC and Economic Development Director Kevin Leighty, presented a certificate to the team at the September 19 Village board meeting.

The family business, known for its quality style and remarkable customer service, has been a mainstay in downtown Oswego for nearly 50 years at 27 Main Street, thanks to the commitment of its dedicated staff and the Kaleel family. Bella-gia is stylishly stocked with designer clothing for women at reasonable prices and only a small number of each item is ordered. Similarly, The Prom Shoppe offers a ?Prom Promise" that guarantees no dress will be sold in the same color to two gals attending the same high school dance.

Stop by the downtown Oswego store and or shop online. Learn more about the business' history and staff at: bit.ly/OswegoBusinessofMonth [ [link removed] ].
