Feature Your Business on Middletown Patch

It's no wonder people who inspired to open their own business choose to do so in Middletown, a small city smack dab in the center of Connecticut known for its cuisines from around the world, Middlesex Hospital, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Wesleyan University and Middlesex Community College and growing retail and entertainment venues and so much more.

To celebrate these small local business owners in our midst who call our city home, Middletown Patch is beginning a new feature that highlights their passions and creativity.

We know it's a tough job market out there. That's why entrepreneurs who start their own business — by creating a product or service and employing themselves and others in the process — are an inspiration to others.

Our first Small Business Saturday feature was McGuire Baseball Co. Patrick McGuire, who started his equipment supply service that provides gloves, balls and wooden bats to Little Leaguers and professional players alike, is the Only High-End Baseball Shop Between New York & Boston.

Patch readers love finding out about cool local businesses, so we've created this form so business owners can tell us what's new or special about their shop or service.

Selected submissions will be featured in a Patch article, with priority being given to new businesses, businesses that are moving locations or establishments with a unique service or product.
