Lifting up women-owned businesses. (Halo Salon & Blowout Bar / Facebook)

It’s Women’s History Month and we’re highlighting five amazing women representing businesses in the Auburn/Opelika community. Let’s dive in.

1. The Well

Probably the most aesthetically pleasing spot in Opelika, The Well not only serves as an authentic tea room but also an outlet for women business owners to present their products. The owner and founder, Allison Kovak, created the space to cultivate relationships and build opportunities for other women to expand their own businesses within the building.

In addition to the tea room, businesses you can find represented at The Well include The Cup and Saucer, Soapelika and local women artists.
