It is very tough to run a small business by oneself, especially a restaurant. I faced so many challenges, but have received so much help from Brighton Main street!!

Their support and help made me feel secure!! This feeling of security didn't come easily, but through the hard work of Brighton Main Streets’ staff and Board of Directors. They showed me they care, and that they are all willing to help. For this, I am very thankful and grateful I have chosen Brighton to start my first little business." - Elizabeth, Little Pecan Bistro
