CHAMBER CONNECTION

Small businesses continue to thrive in Jackson. Examples of small businesses who are Jackson Chamber members are, from left, Danny Crossett of Performance Running of West Tennessee, Meg and Danny Hargett, who own Bill’s Appliance, Inc. and Nell Huntspon, of Nell Huntspon Flower Box.

Small business growth important for local economy

mall businesses and entrepreneurs in Jackson continue to thrive with support from organizations such as the Jackson Chamber and the Tennessee Small Business Development Center. The center had 209 clients and gave 1,055 hours of counseling in 2016 by mid-December, said Joel Newman, its senior small business specialist. In the same time period, it helped launch 31 new businesses, create 108 new jobs, retain 50 existing jobs, and generate a capital infusion of almost $3 million into the local economy. It also generated another $250,000 in loans for small businesses that have been approved. “This is by far the best year we’ve ever had,” Newman said. The center’s mission supports a core strategy of Forward Jackson 2.0, a five-year initiative led by the chamber to promote economic growth and improve quality of life. Through the campaign, the chamber is working to help small businesses thrive by enhancing resources and promoting retailers and other small-business owners.

The mission of the Tennessee Small Business Development Center supports a core strategy of Forward Jackson 2.0, a five-year initiative led by the Jackson Chamber to promote economic growth and improve quality of life. “More people are coming to Jackson for products and services offered by small businesses,” said Jackson Chamber President and CEO Kyle Spurgeon. “We’re working to create higher levels of growth while nurturing the health of small businesses throughout the community.” The Tennessee Small Business Development Center is hosted by Jackson State Community College and receives funding from the college and the U.S. Small Business Administration. It is part of a network of centers throughout the state that empower small-business owners and entrepreneurs to innovate new products and services. Newman and center Director Ron Acree help start-up companies formulate

business plans while working with existing businesses to manage everyday cash flow and marketing problems. From the Samuel T. Bryant Distillery on Lower Brownsville Road to a military contractor in Selmer, a trucking company in Bolivar and a convenient store owner in Jackson, the center helps entrepreneurs in nine counties. “We’ve run the gamut of all kinds of businesses.” Newman said the center works to make business more sustainable, which is one of the reasons for their success. “We know what it takes to qualify for loans, and we’re not going to put our name on something that doesn’t make sense,” he said. And even after a business receives its loan, the services from the Tennessee Small Business Development Center continue. “We follow up,” Newman said. “We want to make sure they stay on the right track, and we do what we have to do to keep them on the right track.”

Campaign promotes spending dollars in Jackson

he Jackson Chamber launched a publicity campaign in December to promote retailers, restaurants and hotels throughout the community. “Jackson Chamber Members & Merchants invite you to: Shop. Give. Create. Celebrate. Play. Gather. Eat. Experience. Visit. Stay. Explore.” Or, “Shop. Eat. Stay.,” for short. The campaign features three videos hosted on the chamber’s YouTube channel and shared on other social media sites that encourage viewers to “Think Jackson.” It invites them to share their experiences online with the #JacksonTN hashtag, a means to unite conversations across social media platforms under a common subject or theme. The first video promotes restaurants, whether diners are looking for a quick bite to eat or a place to savor a celebration with family and friends. It reminds people that chamber members and mer-

chants offer many diverse, delicious options and a vast array of restaurants from which to choose. The second video focuses on shopping and the strict time demands of today’s consumers. In Jackson, chamber members and merchants offer a broad variety of places to go with unique items to find, from boutiques and other small business to the nation’s leading big-box retailers. The third video explores all the experiences available in Jackson from chamber members and merchants as visitors join guests from around the world encountering art, music and adventure. “Jackson is a melting pot of musicians, artists and intercultural activities,” the voiceover says. “Want entertainment? Think Jackson.” To find the videos and learn more about Jackson’s members and merchants, visit jacksontn.com.

Let’s Wax It offers waxing services from head to toe

anielle Perry was looking for a better way to serve customers when she moved from Memphis to open Let’s Wax It, a full-service waxing salon, last April in Jackson. “Most spas run on commission, so time is money,” Perry said. “I wanted to create a different environment than previous environments I had worked in. At Let’s Wax It, we aren’t rushing customers out the door so that we can fit in more customers. There is no way you can do a high quality job in a short amount of time. We make sure that’s not the type of service our customers receive.” Let’s Wax It offers a variety of services for both female and male clients from Danielle Perry head to toe. Some of the most popular female services are arm waxes, bikini corrections, Perry said. waxes, Brazilian waxes and eyebrow waxShe meets with people who are unsatisfied with their eyees. For men, some of the most popular services are chest brows and works with them for a few months in order for waxes, eyebrow waxes and nose waxes. them to correct the eyebrows however the client wishes. The favorite part of her job is specializing in eyebrow

Let’s Wax It is unique from other traditional salons and spas because the wax it uses is created by Perry. “I call it the new generation of wax,” Perry said. “It is gentle on the skin. We still remove the dead skin with the wax, but we don’t remove the first layer of skin. With this wax, our customers don’t have red skin for two days after waxing. The redness only lasts about an hour or so.” Perry is in the process of expanding the business, and her dream is for Let’s Wax It to become a franchise. Currently, she is working on opening locations in Florida and Mississippi. “There was not a waxing spa in Jackson before I got here,” Perry said. “It was awesome to bring something new to Jackson. I’ve met so many people in the community here, and everyone has been so down to earth and welcoming.” Let’s Wax It, at 31 Murray Guard Drive, is open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

West TN Bone & Joint, Surgery Center to expand on Stonebridge

est Tennessee Bone & Joint Clinic, P.C. and Physicians Surgery Center are partnering to expand their 207 Stonebridge Blvd. site to create a more spacious and comfortable environment for patients. When completed in 2018, the expansion will generate about new 40 jobs and create a 25,000-squarefoot, dual-use facility. The surgery center is modernizing its building to refine the patient experience while expanding its family waiting room and building additional privacy suites for patients in need of longer monitoring and more acute care. Meanwhile, West Tennessee Bone & Joint Clinic – Stonebridge, which uses the surgery center for many outpatient procedures, will add about 14,000 square feet to its Stonebridge clinic space to better serve patients. Practicing at the Stonebridge location are Adam M. Smith, M.D., and Michael S. Dolan, M.D., FACS; Eric J. Homberg, M.D., board certified in interventional pain management; and Nurse Practitioners Amy B. Wren, APRN-BC, and Drew Freeman, FNP-BC. “The demand for orthopedic surgical services and interventional pain management has grown so rapidly that we need to expand so we can maintain a comfortable and state-of the art environment for our patients and referring providers that we serve,” said Jason T. Hutchison, M.D., president of West Tennessee Bone & Joint Clinic. The Physicians Surgery Center originally opened in 1995 as a facility focused on eye care. Today, its surgeons and staff complete almost 6,000 surgeries per year within the medical specialties of ophthalmology, orthopedics, pain management, plastics and urology, said Neal Rager,

West Tennessee Bone & Joint Clinic was founded by Lowell F. Stonecipher, M.D., in 1973. Its main Jackson facility is nearby on Physicians Drive.

Absent satisfaction, the patient (our consumer) will go elsewhere. We’ve also focused on increased technology advances and patient preferences on reducing costs.”
