“What<br />

appealed to you<br />

about Pearl when<br />

looking for a place<br />

to start or move<br />

your business?”<br />

Marcie Bullock<br />

Doris Berry’s Farmers Market<br />

We moved from Jackson to Pearl<br />

five years ago, and what first<br />

attracted us was the security/safety<br />

of our new location. The Pearl police<br />

and sheriff’s departments have a<br />

great reputation and we have not<br />

had one security problem since<br />

moving to Pearl!<br />

The Blue Feather<br />

Pearl has always been my hometown.<br />

I grew up here and chose to<br />

start my family here as well. It was<br />

the only place I ever imagined<br />

starting my business! The people<br />

here support small businesses so<br />

well. I knew that this would be such a<br />

welcoming place to start and grow<br />

Being that I’m an alumna of Pearl<br />

High School, I will always consider<br />

Pearl a second home. Pearl is<br />

continuously blooming, and the<br />

attractions of Pearl are innumerable.<br />

Beginning a business in Pearl was<br />

a no-brainer; it afforded me the<br />

opportunity to give back to the<br />

community.<br />

Pure Air Consultants<br />

When I decided to go into business<br />

in July 2004, Pearl was the only<br />

place that made sense. My family<br />

and I have called Pearl home for<br />

many years. Pure Air Consultants<br />

called Chidre Road home for several<br />

years. In April 2017, we purchased<br />

the old J. L. Jones building on<br />

Highway 468. When they closed<br />

their doors, the building sat empty<br />

for a long time.<br />

Since Pearl holds a piece of our<br />

hearts, we wanted to bring life<br />

back to the iconic orange and white<br />

building. We changed the color,<br />

added walls and refinished floors<br />

and now have room to grow!<br />

Pearl offers such great support for<br />

businesses, and we would encourage<br />

anyone looking for a new home to<br />

take a look at Pearl. Our Chamber<br />

of Commerce is top notch and will<br />

help you get plugged in within the<br />

community. The local government is<br />

always willing to lend a listening ear<br />

and offer solutions to help you.<br />

A’HA Donuts<br />

We had been praying for God to<br />

give us a clear direction where to<br />

place our new venture, and Pearl<br />

was the obvious choice. With godly<br />

leadership, the outlook for the future<br />

of Pearl is promising. The area<br />

needed a warm and friendly place<br />

with excellent food that is served<br />

by people who welcomed the<br />

community like family and friends–<br />

a place where people always know<br />

they will get the best of everything.<br />

The area deserves an eatery that will<br />

run and operate with high integrity<br />

and character and provide a menu<br />

that will inspire people to want more.<br />

A’HA came to Pearl because we<br />

wanted to share our passion for<br />

hand-crafted burgers, sandwiches,<br />

po-boys, fried rice, and freshly made<br />

hot donuts daily. We have weekly/<br />

monthly special because I’ve always<br />

believed that food is the best way to<br />

make a genuine, authentic connection<br />

with people.<br />
