Welland Ward 4 Coun. Bryan Green says numerous new businesses, such as the ones in the small plaza on Niagara Street south of Quaker Road, have opened in the ward in the past year.

A lot is going on in Welland’s Ward 4, says Coun. Bryan Green.

Green said the ward — he’s one of two councillors who represent it — has grown with many new businesses opening in the past year.

Some of those businesses include Stacked Pancake and Breakfast House, Party Max, Simply Gas, Everest Tandoori Kitchen, Niagara North Propane, Starbucks, Sleep Country and a new Pizza Hut.

There are more to come, said Green, citing Whole Health Niagara Pharmacy, Intrepid Health Clinic, Insalata Cannabis Market, Garden City Cannabis and, one he is personally looking forward to, Firehouse Subs.

“There’s a lot of excitement around Firehouse Subs.”

Green said it has been good to see so many businesses open in the city and ward, which takes in most of the city’s northeast area, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Residential development across the city has drawn more people to Welland, and businesses responded, the councillor said.

“People will come into the north end and patronize those businesses.”
