The Dowagiac Chamber of Commerce is delighted to welcome Here 4 U, the area’s newest addition to the business community, with a Ribbon Tying event. This unique ceremony, a modern twist on the traditional ribbon cutting, symbolizes weaving new businesses into the fabric of Dowagiac.
Owned by local entrepreneurs Brea and Bret Sipla, Here 4 U is located at 57365 M-51 S in Dowagiac and offers a versatile array of services. These include “Sip & Paint” events, notary services, clothing mending, and detergent sales. “Yes, we sell detergents,” shared Brea. “We kind of fell into this service, and it’s been a huge success.”
The shop sells five-gallon buckets of detergent brands comparable to Tide, Gain, Suavitel, and Downy (in original and lavender scents), along with Fabuloso, Mr. Clean, and bleach. Each bucket is priced at $30, with pumps available for $2. Brea encourages the community to, “Check out our Facebook page for our calendar of events and vendor promotions.”
In addition to its services, Here 4 U hosts a marketplace featuring eight local vendors offering art, clothing, crafts, collectibles, freeze-dried candy, neck pillows, and more. They are actively seeking additional consignors and vendors to fill their space, as well as small businesses needing office space. The venue also provides opportunities for group crafting sessions and classes, ideal for families, coworkers, or community groups.
Matt Money, representing the Dowagiac Chamber of Commerce, praised the Sipla family’s dedication: “The Sipla family has a long history of entrepreneurship in our area. We are thrilled to welcome them to our Chamber and support their new business as it becomes an integral part of our community.”
Here 4 U Business Hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
