Lee Bartley opened her Danish Mermaid chocolate store back in 1996.

 

Bartley is one of thousands of small businesses operating every day in Manitoba.

 

This is Small Business week. Bartley says business is steady and customer needs haven't changed much very much over the past 14 years.

 

 

Bartley runs the community's bus depot out of the Danish Mermaid. She also operates a restaurant in the Shoppers Mall in Killarney.
