We headed uptown yesterday to The Bronx yesterday for the Small Business Resource Fair we co-hosted with the Office of Council Member Justin Sanchez and The HUB-Third Avenue B.I.D. (Business Improvement District)!

AC’s Richard Reynoso & Tshering D. Gurung loved meeting so many Bronx entrepreneurs, making connections, sharing resources, and hearing about the businesses they’re building.

Big thanks to Council Member Sanchez and his team, our partners at HUB, Steven Garibell & sponsor TD Charitable Foundation and especially to the entrepreneurs and owners who came out and made the event such a success.

Looking forward to continuing the conversations and seeing your businesses thrive!
