Congratulations to our 2025 Youth Entrepreneur Award winners! 
At the SME Gala on October 25, Brandy and Britney Francoeur, owners of Velleo Spinning, were recognized for their innovative vision: a rhythmic spinning studio that redefines fitness by integrating multiple training styles. 

They didn’t just take home an excellence trophy, but also a gift basket worth over $4,740, generously offered by local businesses.  

A special shout-out: back in 2009, their mom won this very same award… with her two daughters cheering her on! A beautiful reminder that entrepreneurship often runs in the family.  

Bravo Brandy and Britney for your passion and boldness!
