Let's Support Our Stratford Small Businesses

This Year... MORE THAN EVER

The economic challenges of operating a small business during a pandemic threatens the very existence of the businesses we all know and love.

But we can make the difference simply by choosing Small Businesses over national brands. Large businesses do not need our help. Small businesses cannot survive without our support.

And equally important is sharing your Small Business commitment with others. Let others know you support Shop Small and ask them to consider doing the same.

SHOP SMALL SATURDAY

“Shop Small Stratford is an opportunity to support our local businesses who struggled this year,“ said Mayor Laura Hoydick. “If you are not comfortable visiting your favorite establishment, place an online order or call in an order for curbside pick-up. Our small businesses are getting creative on ways to fulfill the needs of the community allowing us to shop small, shop local and shop safe.”

Stratford Small Business Spotlight

Riley's by the Seawall

Riley’s by the Seawall is an exciting waterfront restaurant that opened this year in the site previously operated as "Crabby Dog" and before that, "Mara Belle."

Owners Richard Davis and Steve O’Neill started the seafood restaurant with an aim to create a new community hub that offers both dining and pub fare.

The new owners renovated the space and successfully transformed it into the tropical-themed restaurant and pub they envisioned, which Davis said matched with the overall atmosphere of their Long Island Sound location. The new bar overlooks the waterfront and the refurbished dining room is bright and also affords views of the Sound.

Richard Davis is not new to the restaurant business. He has owned and operated eateries throughout Fairfield County for 30 years. His most recent restaurant was Murphy’s Townhouse Café in Stamford. He also had opened the original Riley's in New Milford in the early 1990s before selling it.

Riley's by the Seawall was inpsired by the 1960s television show, “The Life of Riley" - who Davis said is more of a free spirit by the water type, so it’s a natural location for a Riley’s.”

This is O’Neill’s first experience in the restaurant business, coming from a lengthy career in the finance industry. Both O'Neill and Davis decided to team up when they learned of the opportunity for a waterfront establishment in Stratford.

The atmosphere of the restaurant, the proximity to the peaceful vibes of the beach and the indisputable talent in the kitchen makes Riley's the perfect year round spot for dining out and having a cocktail with friends.
