Fleet of foot entrepreneurs build Parkland Embroidery
Ten years ago economists Cohen and Shannon predicted the small fleet of foot firms would thrive. Karen Healey and Jennifer Dahl, nurses and mothers from Swan River, started Parkland Embroidery in 1994 with a $50,000 loan. They opened in Jennifer’s basement and now produce custom embroidery, including a jacket featuring a foot-high elk, while balancing family and business.
