Wellesley Business Buzz: Xylem going out in style; Sweetgreen getting closer; Bank honors WHS golfers; Sun Life teams with Bentley

December 14, 2017 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

Here’s a roundup of the latest Wellesley business news:

Xylem going out with a bang

Xylem, the modern decor and accessories store that moved late last year from Cambridge to Wellesley’s Church Square, is closing.

“We are sad to announce that our store in Wellesley will be closing,” the owners write on their website.  “But we are excited to share with you one last BIG sale as we close our doors for good.  Starting today, everything in the store is (at least) 20% off!!  It’s the perfect time to stock up on Holiday gifts, treats for yourself, and much more.

We relocated to Wellesley a bit over a year ago, after having been in business in Cambridge for five successful years.  We thank everyone here for the incredibly warm welcome and all of your kind comments since we’ve opened!  We’ve loved meeting you all.  But to be quite honest, there just hasn’t been enough business here to keep us afloat, so when an opportunity came up to pass our lease along to another retailer, we realized that it was time to move on…”

The business is located at 30 Church Street in Wellesley.  Its hours starting Dec. 13th will be Mon-Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 12-5pm.  Check the website for updates on January hours and increasing discounts.

Sweetgreen getting closer

Workers are making good progress on the Linden Square Sweetgreen salad-plus shop, which should open over the next month.

While graduating Wellesley High seniors were home for Thanksgiving break, Needham Bank recognized the 2017 Wellesley girls golf team’s state championship victory from this past June by presenting jackets to the team at a presentation in the school’s atrium. The entire team was in attendance along with Coach Ken Bateman and bank execs.

The golf team won the state championship title on June 14t by two strokes over Notre Dame Academy of Hingham.

Needham Bank for the past few years has been recognizing state championship teams in its nine branch towns with jackets.

 

Sun Life partners with Bentley on workplace inclusiveness

Sun Life has become an official partner of Bentley University’s Center for Women and Business (CWB), which provides tools and training to help organizations foster more inclusive workplaces. Through the CWB’s Corporate Partnership Program, Sun Life and other corporate partners work together to explore issues around workplace gender diversity, and identify opportunities and actions companies can take to better address them.

 

Sun Life’s Women’s Leadership Network (WLN), which established the partnership, has been dedicated to addressing women’s workplace issues for more than 20 years.
