🔊 This week's business highlight of the week is ☕ Mother's Cupboard 🍃 located in New London. This is the perfect place to cleanse and reset your health for the new year. ☮️ Owner, Lauren Marquardt, was raised by entrepreneur parents who modeled running their own businesses guided by leading principles of how to live life 💚. When she and her partner, Emmy (who crafted the unique tea bar, shelving and more 😍 🔨), moved back to the area she knew she wanted to start her own holistic store after being motivated by the experience of working with a holistic vet🥼 🐾🏪 . With friend and tea connoisseur Allison Bratsch, who mixes tea blends for the store, and with the support and co-ownership of Lauren's mother, Joanne, and sister, Ashley Hagedorn, Mother's Cupboard was opened 🚪. Swing in today for unique gifts 🌱, herbal medicines 🌿, freshly squeezed juices 🍎 🥕, tea blends 🍯, and more all in a calming and soothing atmosphere🙏🏾. ▶️ Mother's Cupboard is located at 61 Main Street South Suite 1, New London, online at www.mothers-cupboard.com, by phone at 320-347-1115, and email at Hello@mothers-cupboard.com. ◀️
