Midtown Gift Shop City Bird Expands After Boost From NEIdeas Entrepreneurship Program
Detroit, MI – City Bird, a Detroit- and Great Lakes-themed housewares, jewelry and gift shop in Midtown, has expanded and has more on its shelves thanks in part to a program designed to strengthen entrepreneurship in Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park.
Andy Linn and his sister, Emily, opened City Bird in 2009. In October, they received $10,000 from the NEIdeas program and used that money to expand their 600-square-foot retail shop at 460 W. Canfield St. to 1,100 square feet.
The former office area that was separated by drywall now is filled with three new display cases for more jewelry, stationery and apparel from hundreds of independent artists and designers, featuring work from metro Detroit and other Rust Belt cities.
