Patch was on the streets in the past week, talking to business owners and managers about the advantages of claiming their listing in the Brighton Patch Directory.

Sure, every business in Brighton has a basic listing. But "claiming" a listing allows owners to customize their pages by adding photos and posting events and announcements to inform readers.

Here's a list of the most recent businesses to sign up; we hope you help support them and others in the community.  Welcome to Patch!

Artventures is the go-to custom framing destination, framing everything from a wedding bouquet to a Led Zeppelin guitar.  Also, the artwork lining the walls of the gallery is available for purchase.

Oh My Lolli is located right behind the Imagination Station, making it the perfect place for you and your kids to get a sugar rush before hitting the playground.  Hundreds of homemade lollis cover the walls at this Wonka-esque destination.

Pawsitively Spoiled of Brighton is the Kim Kardashian of places to spoil your four-legged friends.  The store offers grooming services, pet clothing and accessories and is complete with a corral full of puppies!

The White Dress has everything a bride and her bridesmaids need on that special day, including lovely dresses from some of the world's top designers and jewelry to pamper things up.
