DARTMOUTH GIRL POWER!

OUR JOURNEY: Early in March of 2020, I designed and printed two Big Dartmouth Energy t-shirts for the very simple reason of wanting a Dartmouth specific t-shirt for myself and brother. Within a few weeks, there were multiple requests of how and where to purchase the t-shirt we were wearing. I quickly ordered the t-shirts in bulk, set up an instagram page and employed my business savvy cousin to lay the groundwork for becoming a small business. Much to our surprise (and deli...ght) strangers around Dartmouth, Halifax, New Brunswick and even as far as Vancouver began ordering t-shirts. My cousin quickly adapted and began building spreadsheets and systematic ways of tracking and shipping orders. On Instagram, our follower count went from 2 (us) to 100, 500 and recently 1200. We have implemented new designs and items, sold out of shirts and established ourselves as a fun space for Dartmouth content and apparel. With that, our company name was based on our initial logo. At the time, we did not anticipate people asking us to partner, creating new designs and people asking us for business cards. Over the last few months we have been brain storming and designing names and logos to put at the forefront of our business (while still selling and promoting the big Dartmouth energy). Our goal now is to continue to grow and be a presence in the community - this goes beyond selling merchandise and posting photos. We want to create a space for people to connect and grow within the community of Dartmouth and create an inclusive space for people to be themselves as well as showcase a little Dartmouth pride. We have officially rebranded our business to ‘Big Dartmouth & Co. We will continue selling t-shirts and hats with our logos and have many new items coming to you very soon. We hope that you continue on with us in this journey as we build up and grow the community of Dartmouth.

Meet Nash. This 115-pound (and growing!) Dartmouthian Rottweiler is only 8 months old. Don't be intimidated by his size, he is a goofball at heart and, like all of us here, loves to meet his fellow Dartmouthians when he's out and about. His favourite places are Shubie Park and Rainbow Haven and enjoys treating himself at Timmies with a Timbit or at Starbucks with a Puppucino. He's not afraid to ask for butt scratches from anyone and in turn maybe he'll sh...ow you one of his best sticks that he hunted down! Let's thank his parents @emilysarty and @steflapierre for bringing him to the photoshoot! #downtowndartmouth #rottweiler #supportlocal #dogsofdartmouth See more
