WEDC & Ellsworth Celebrate Main Street Makeover Winner

Pierce, pierce county, News
A little over a decade ago, Angie Whelan, her husband and their two children moved from Las Vegas to the town of El Paso in Pierce County in search of – literally — greener pastures.
While her husband fulfilled his dream of farming in a lush green valley, Whelan started her own business selling aromatherapy and wellness products. In recognition of the small rural community where they’d settled, she dubbed the new business YB Urban? Initially, it was home-based, but in 2019, Whelan opened a store in Ellsworth.
As her business thrived, Whelan found that her storefront wasn’t as appealing as it could be.
