The Risk Takers 

Uptown Waterloo BIA 50th Anniversary Series Episode 1: The Risk Takers
We celebrate The Risk Takers: Emily Peat of The Underdog Dance Corp. and Gosia Jurgiel of Unique Boutique. Opening your own business inherently comes with risk and these are two very different stories of both risk and reward.
Emily opened The Underdog Dance Corp. during the pandemic and, against many odds, has not only taken her own advice to just go for it and take a chance but along the way cultivated a welcoming community of people with a zest for life, excitement and exploration.
Gosia opened Unique Boutique over 20 years ago. A young, single mother having emigrated from Poland many told her that her business wouldn’t last when she started, but she believed and trusted in herself and more than 2 decades has proven her instinct right.
