Keeping up with all of the new businesses in the Huntsville area these days is a full time job (no, really, it is!) because it seems like weekly we have multiple new business announcements to make.

And that’s a good thing. This year we have welcomed dozens of new businesses to the Rocket City, and the year is just half over. Here a few new businesses in the Huntsville area that opened this past week:
