Rochester Business Stories

Rochester business is built in public. A restaurant opens its doors, a longtime retailer hands work to the next generation, or a local product earns a place far beyond the region. The work happens behind the scenes, but the results become part of how people experience the city.

These Rochester Living conversations follow the people running that work. Jon Swan talks about hospitality, community responsibility, and new plans for Park Avenue. Paul Guglielmo shares the challenge of growing a Rochester product business. Michael and Courtney Cornell reflect on carrying a 100 year family legacy forward. Meghan Mundy brings a view shaped by decades in the local fashion world.
