Old Stanford Village Businesses 2011 Photos

Back in 2011, Cait of EduCaits captured a wonderful collection of Stanford business signage. It’s incredible to see how much the village has changed in the last decade and a half.

While some people miss the old days, others love the growth, and one thing stays true: Stanford’s owner-run businesses, local reinvestment, and entrepreneurial spirit keep the village moving forward in the best way.

Do you recognise any of these names from the past? Some are still around, just in new homes.
