The Warren, a collective comprised of three Leelanau makers who are also friends, opened its doors to visitors on Memorial Day weekend in Leland. Tucked back into The Leland Courtyard at 106 N. Main Street, the space exudes the feeling of a rabbit den, also called a warren, and one of the reasons the name was chosen by the friends for their new endeavor.
Suttons Bay-based Moraine (curated by Leland resident Kelsey McQuown: read about Moraine here) and SMQ Consulting (her husband Steve) have partnered to create an interactive online dashboard to visualize the key factors, pain points, and opportunities for Leelanau County’s expanding online business ecosystem. During a time when a business’ online presence is more crucial than ever, the Leelanau Business Digital Vitals Dashboard seeks to help local business owners, chambers of commerce, and economic development organizations identify—and efficiently act on—the most potent opportunities for online business growth and optimization in 2021.
The Moraine Shop & Studio is Suttons Bay’s new spot for holiday shopping, and its mission is to not only curate local art, but to also support the process of local artists and makers as well.
