Three Women Small-Business Owners Beating The Recession

Philly.com:

IN THE MIDST of the most brutal economy since the Depression, Sureya Mohammed, who emigrated from Ethiopia to America 22 years ago in search of a better life, just opened her second Philadelphia grocery store.

A steady flow of neighbors patronizes the Dean Food Market, on Tasker Street near 16th, where the brightly lit aisles offer canned goods, household products, fresh produce and a deli counter featuring what Mohammed assured a reporter are her husband Hakim Gutu's "best hoagies in Philadelphia."

i'm so proud of the huffnpuffers for this article. instead of catering to the loser, whining crowd you have finally posted what some people are doing to make a success out of themselves during these hard times. there is always a good idea that makes money. some of them are new ideas. some of them are old tried and true ideas. all that's required is the nerve, passion and good planning to do it. bravo!

I can relate to this. I have my own business and so far it's still going well. The recession hasn't hurt my business so I guess it depends on what you're selling - or the products you are producing or the services you are offering. Fast food companies are cleaning up - so the recession isn't hurting everyone.

I bet that they don't have a union shop....ye­t. I'm happy for their success, it's unfortunate that many libs despise it. Come on ladies...s­pread the wealth!

What is the "it" liberals despise?

I have a small business, am starting another, help fund still others and am a proud liberal, as are the small business owners I and other liberal "angel" investors help finance.

Liberals are at the forefront of local and socially beneficial investing in small to medium businesses and in establishing microcredit such as many small business owners throughout the world rely on.
