This week, our annual New Business Week campaign begins on Monday and runs until the end of the week on April 28th. We’ll introduce you to the businesses that opened their doors in the West End in 2023.

Keep checking our blog this week to learn more about some of these business owners. We’ll be posting a Q&A with a new business owner every day!

“Sixty-seven businesses opening represents sixty-seven stories of entrepreneurs, go-getters and visionaries taking a bold step and we love to see it. Whether they’re trying something new, growing or simply moving, we want to share their unique stories with Winnipeggers.”” says Joe Kornelsen, Executive Director of the West End BIZ. 

Businesses that opened in 2023

We are excited to share that in 2023, the West End saw 67 new businesses open their doors. From new restaurants, medical spas, auto shops, and cat cafes, we are thrilled to have so many new businesses in the neighbourhood for you to check out.
