Perrytown up close: notes for a small business website

Perrytown has been around since 1959; that is more than half a century of local history. Long-established places reward businesses that feel familiar: people want to know who they are dealing with and how long the business has been open. A short history of the business says more than any tagline.

• Auto repair shops (9): a page per service (brakes, A/C, diagnostics), the shop’s location and a quick contact form.
• Pharmacies (4): hours, services such as vaccines, the insurance you accept and a map.

County-wide, Hempstead County counts 378 businesses with employees and 1,145 self-employed or nonemployer businesses (2023).
