Plus One

Plus One is a business founded by Reina Vergara, Semlina Thaysa, and Veronica Westfield.

The business began as a Farmer's Market stall in early September. On October 6th, 2021, the business received a business license from the city.

"'Plus One sells love related items at the markets, and hosts Speed Dating/Friending events as well as special events. They also have Platonic Date Rentals as well.'"

Background
Semlina was first intrigued at the idea of having someone who needed people for dates or such at events that occurred around the city. Often hearing that people never really wanted to attend the events alone. This prompted her to seek possibly charging for her time as a date for whomever needed one for an event so they didn't look like a loser. This idea was then combined when Semlina met Reina Vergara, who had come up with a Speed Friending event to host at the Rooster's Rest with a friend of hers. The two had thought about how great the two ideas could mesh well together. They brought on their friend Veronica Westfield who already had a plethora of ideas to bring along with in the company. After much consideration to the name, Reina mentioned how often people mention in the city the need of a +1, albeit for city jobs or just for events in general. Therefore the name Plus One was born having the company finally come into fruition.

Since then Plus One has made it's goal to help anyone new around the city attend the free Speed Friending events to make it easier coming into the city. As well as seeing any previously obscure or unknown locations in the city. Plus One strives to work with everyone and anyone in the city that is willing to work with them as well.
