Patch was on the streets in the past week, talking to business owners and managers about the advantages of claiming their listing in the Hartland Patch Directory.

Sure, every business in Hartland has a basic listing. But "claiming" a listing allows owners to customize their pages, add photos and post events and announcements to inform readers.

Here's a list of the most recent businesses to sign up; we hope you help support them and others in the community.  Welcome to Patch!

The Majestic at Lake Walden claimed its listing just in time for golfing season.  A plush course and friendly staff were sure signs of why the parking lot was full on a Thursday afternoon.

Village Manor Retirement is a newly opened retirement community at 9501 E. Highland Rd. that offers various levels of assisted living.

Eagle Express is spreading its wings. Speaking of wings, chicken wings are just one of the items on the stores' large menu chockful of ribs, pizza and other delicious options.  The usual party store amentities are also available, from keg rentals to ping pong balls.

Striking Lanes is rolling right along with leagues and constant entertainment. Be sure to keep an eye out for what is going on at Hartland's No. 1 bowling alley.

Hartland Flowers is the only locally owned florist in town and with Mother's Day just around the corner, make sure you check back on a regular basis for any upcoming sales for that special woman in your life.

Finders Keepers is the unique shop in town that seems to have just a little bit of everything for the home. The stock is always changing so check back often for updated photos of the store's new inventory.
