Meet Burlington

A new series from Burlington 365 spotlighting the people, businesses, and leaders shaping our city — one story at a time.

He is outspoken about doing right by people, transparent selling, and rejecting the manipulative tactics glamorized by pop-culture sales icons.

From aerospace to beer, John Romano continues to lead with grit, vision, and an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way.

Kelly Childs and Erinn Weatherbie are the mother–daughter duo behind Kelly’s Bake Shoppe, a popular bakery known for being 100% gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and peanut-free.

The two connected online almost three years ago, and their relationship has been fueled by a shared love of exploring local coffee shops.

Sarah is no stranger to hard work or long hours. Before owning a restaurant, she worked as a nurse for nearly two decades. 

The things I really care about are building a future for Burlington, that's quality of life for everybody, from kids to grandparents, and everybody in between.
