Plum, Parker on Main featured in business series

GREENFIELD — As part of its monthly Business Breakdown series, Greenspace CoWork is highlighting the Plum clothing, accessories and art boutique and Parker on Main hair salon, both owned by Tim Fisk.

The Business Breakdown — a free evening of casual networking, light refreshments, and group discussion around business, entrepreneurship and innovation in Greenfield — will be held Wednesday, May 11, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Greenspace CoWork, located on the third floor at the Hawks & Reed Performing Arts Center, 289 Main St.

“Each Business Breakdown session will start with an informal presentation from a new local business,” a Greenfield Business Association newsletter states, citing the “big splashes” made by Fisk’s two downtown businesses. “We’ll also explore topics like transparency, resource sharing and recovery in a disruptive climate; the challenges we face both professionally and personally amid COVID; and inventive ways we can mutually overcome.”
