Brooks and Butterfield is a business that gains as well as losing a little in hard times because people who aren't taking the big vacation are apt to substitute a spa package. "We've had a lot of groups for spa retreats," says Brooks and Butterfield's Shannon Fleury. "Gift certificates are up." Another bright sign in a dark economy is that Brooks and Butterfield is remodeling its manicure-pedicure area and adding stations, all in keeping with its signature blue decor.
