Silk Road Wellness has been full of activity in recent weeks, taking on exciting business opportunities and opening new avenues of growth. With a new storefront at the Community Commons in Mall of America (MOA), the halal-friendly and herbal wellness brand is the first of its kind to be available at MOA. Community Commons is a mall initiative to support small local businesses affected by the pandemic and civil unrest.
"We are so excited to be a part of the initiative at Community Commons,” says Annie Qaiser, founder of Silk Road Wellness. It is an honor to be working with other minority-owned local businesses and learning from them. Having a physical storefront and launching our unique halal wellness brand is a dream come true,"
Additionally, Silk Road Wellness was accepted in the next learning cohort of Lunar Startups, a Twin Cities-based business accelerator program. The business program is designed to help small businesses scale and provides them with professional mentorship. Silk Road Wellness is the first Pakistani-owned and second Muslim-owned business to be selected by Lunar Startups.
"Being chosen by Lunar Startups
is a huge deal for Silk Road Wellness,” explains Qaiser. “As a small business
that is rapidly growing, we are more than ready for professional guidance and
advice from a group of seasoned entrepreneurs and mentors and this opportunity
came at the perfect time."
Silk Road Wellness has also expanded its availability in local stores. The
halal-certified natural skincare brand is now available in The Charming Lily
Boutique, in Apple Valley; Lakewinds Co-op, in Chanhassen; and The Wedge and Linden
Hills Co-op, both in Minneapolis.
