Fleming is the creator and founder of Danielle &
Co., a bath and body care company, established in May
of 2002. She began her business out of her kitchen
using a double boiler for the production of most of

house and her sanity! Ms. Fleming launched her internet

In April of 2004, Danielle & Co. opened its first
retail store in downtown Clarks Summit. Within eight
months Danielle & Co. outgrew this location and
moved to 320 South State Street,
downtown Clarks Summit. Recently, Danielle & Co. relocated again to an eco-friendly space at 831 Adams Ave., Scranton, complete with an Essence Bar. The retail store carries
all of the Danielle & Co. products as well as over 50 other brands.
In November of
2005 Ms. Fleming launched her soap to be sold
nationally at the Jacob Javits Center in New York
City. Since this event, her soaps are being sold
in over 40 upscale spas and boutiques across the
country (visit www.DanielleandCompany.com for more
