One of the most powerful ways to support local businesses doesn’t happen online.
It happens over coffee. At dinner. In the car on the way home. When friends come up to visit. When someone asks, “Where should we go?”
That’s how small towns work. A simple: “You’ve gotta try this place.” or “They always take care of us.” can become someone’s new favorite restaurant, shop, market, or weekend tradition. Locals helping locals. One conversation at a time.
This week, tell a friend or a co-worker about a place you love:
🍷 the wine bar with the friendly owner
🔨 the hardware store that somehow always has the thing
🍽️ the restaurant where your family celebrates milestones
🛒 the market that’s become part of your routine
Good places grow by word of mouth. And in communities like ours, word of mouth still matters.
From Soulsbyville to Strawberry, and beyond, thank you for helping keep our local businesses part of the story.
