A meal preparation business and a maternity store are the newest additions to East Prospect Avenue, which is fast becoming the “mommy lane” of downtown Danville.
Now We’re Cooking opened officially on Sept. 15 and will have its Danville Area Chamber of Commerce Ribbon Cutting on Oct. 6. Now We’re Cooking, which is run by Lisa Bretschneider, her mother Betty McCabe and her stepfather Gary Smith, does all the prep work for gourmet home-cooked meals such as Hawaiian Chicken, Spinach Manicotti, and Coconut Shrimp. For $170, customers assemble eight meals that will serve four to six people. They can customize meals as they put them together at Now We’re Cooking’s location on 148 E. Prospect, adding more of one ingredient and less of another.
Babies and Bellies, a maternity and children’s clothing store, opened Sept. 16. The store is owned and operated by four local women, Nicole Hawkins, Michelle Murphy, Dana Schramm and Nicole Herrero.
