Throat Threads Apparel
"I grew up in Burlington, so it will always be home for me and my family. Not only is Burlington a wonderful place to live but when it came time to choose a location for my business, I decided that this was the only city I wanted to work in! It has everything one person could want for a permanent location: easy access to major surrounding cities, unique settings of fashion boutiques and fine restaurants, and of course the fact that Burlington is sitting on beautiful Lake Ontario is a major appeal. It truly is amazing to see global recognition for Throat Threads Apparel, while remaining right here where my roots are.

I can say without hesitation that my business and I will always be in Burlington, and in working with the BEDC, we can only expand and expect bigger milestones to take place." 
 
Russ Fearon

Circles
"Burlington's core values matched up very nicely with Circles company values along with Burlington's education base. There are major universities and colleges within a short drive to our office which allows for a replication of our Boston office culture and knowledge for our customers. Another advantage of the Burlington location was the ability to leverage the Bay City Learning Centre during start-up; a job fair was held and the response was overwhelming. We received over 300 resumes."
