Wayzata Mayor Andrew Mullin featured three local business leaders in his community show "Mayor About Town," showcasing the city's business community and chamber activities.

The show, recorded at Candlelight Floral, included interviews with business owner Lesa Fenwick, Dr. Barbaro Brost of Brost Clinic, and Becky Pierson, president of the Wayzata West Metro Chamber. All three guests are Wayzata residents who own businesses in the community.

Fenwick, whose family represents the third generation of owners at Candlelight Floral, discussed the shop's 60-year history and their annual "Petal it Forward" event, which distributed 2,000 free bouquets to the community last year. Dr. Brost highlighted her clinic's growth since 1986 into one of the Midwest's largest chiropractic and natural healthcare facilities, with her daughter and son-in-law now taking over ownership.

Pierson announced the launch of the Wayzata Business Council, scheduled to begin March 20 at Red Cow restaurant. The chamber recently rebranded from Greater Wayzata Area Chamber of Commerce to Wayzata West Metro Chamber and now serves more than 400 members. She also discussed the chamber's Women Empower Network, launched last year with quarterly meetings.

Mullin noted that Wayzata's commercial district contributes approximately 30 percent of the city's tax base, emphasizing the importance of the business community to municipal finances and community vibrancy.
