Women and Minority Founders

SWEEP RUN NOVEMBER 2026 · THE CDP AND ITS CORRIDOR

The sweep was run as a test, in four passes, and prints with its method. Pass two, immigrant and minority founders in the record: Haji Tehrani, the Iranian-named owner who founded Drive & Shine (1997) because he could not find a high-quality car wash in South Bend — the CDP's largest home-grown founder, an immigrant founder by the record's own naming (banked fragment; the record does not state his birthplace, and none is asserted here); Peter Veldman, Dutch immigrant, Tire Rack (boundary); the Macri family, Italian-American deli founders (Toscana). Pass three, the directory and web record for Granger-seated firms the banked roll may have missed: the sweep returned a women's-boutique row on the corridors — Judee's Boutique (1205 E. University Drive, "in business for over 30 years"), The Pink Pineapple Boutique (12670 IN-23) and Satori Boutique (918 E. University Drive) — none of whose founders are named in any source reached; they print as second-rank firms with the founder want named, settler: the Indiana Secretary of State entity record and the Granger Business Association's membership record for each. Pass four, the chiefs' bench as of November 2026: the sweep's strongest modern finding is at the top of the bank row — Andrea G. Short, CEO and president of 1st Source Corporation from October 1, 2025, the first woman to head the row's lead house in its 162 years, and Bridget Brady, CFO and co-chairman of Big C Lumber in the firm's current roster. The test's verdict: women founders stand in this record at flagship size from 1947 forward, but they stand there as co-founders inside family houses, and no woman or minority founder seated in the CDP is carried in the record as a sole, named founder of a firm of the ground — the boutique row's unnamed founders are the sweep's open want, with its settlers named above. This article, with 65-1's intermediate deed and 65-5's Anchor founder, closes this section's own gap roll: the successions and founders this section could not establish are those three, and no others.
