September 14, 2023 by Deborah Brown

The latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:

Chamber releases ‘Get to Know Wellesley’ video

The Charles River Regional Chamber this week is releasing a promotional video dubbed “Get to Know Wellesley” that highlights some of the local scene, including the colleges, retail shops, and restaurants, such as Laughing Monk and Truly’s.

“Our goal is to support our local economy by highlighting scenic, historic, cultural, recreational, lodging, dining and retail destinations that make our communities unique to those visiting the region, or from the next community over,” Chamber President Greg Reibman said in a statement. “Wellesley Square is really undergoing a renaissance and we wanted to remind everyone that this is a great destination for a day trip.

The Wellesley video follows the release of a “Get to Know Watertown” video.
