Women-owned businesses

This summer has seen a continued return to pre-pandemic life for many in the business world. Of course, all will continue to see the impact of the pandemic for years to come. Throughout the past year of our history here at Edmond Business, we’ve shared business stories both directly related to the pandemic and unrelated.

This month, we’re privileged to recognize three of the many successful female business owners in Edmond. We’re featuring Dr. Shannon Lewis from Lewis Orthodontics, Victoria Woods from ChappelWood Financial Services, and Ruthie Gallardo-Owens from Oklahoma Real Estate Experts.

We’ve recognized other businesses owned by women in the past, including The RED Team, PLENTY Mercantile, Land Enterprises Roofing, and Millie’s Table. We’ve also recognized a couple of businesses co-owned by women with their husbands, Baird Insurance Agency and The Curbing Edge.

I’ve found women to be more than capable in the business world. Of course, I may be biased. Not only have my most talented team members at my digital marketing company, T&S Online Marketing, been female, but the majority of writers here at Edmond Business are female, and the co-owner of my digital marketing business and one of the partners in Edmond Business is none other than my wife, Leann Priebe.

We will continue to highlight businesses and nonprofits run by women and are planning to draw special attention to that fact from time to time, while other times will treat it as the fact of the business world that it is.
