Did you know yesterday was Mom and Pop Business Owners Day?

“National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day is celebrated annually on March 29 to honor small, family-owned businesses and their significant impact on the local economy. Founded by Rick and Margie Segel to honor his parents' hat shop (established in 1939), the day highlights the hard work, unique products, and personalized service these businesses provide.

Key Facts and Ways to Celebrate:

Significance: Small businesses account for 99.9% of all U.S. businesses and create most new jobs, making them crucial for community growth.

Shop Local: Support family-owned shops, cafes, and services on this day and throughout the year.

Spread the Word: Use social media to highlight your favorite neighborhood, family-owned businesses.

Engage: Purchase gift cards or use professional services offered by local owners.

The day encourages highlighting the unique character that local, independent businesses bring to neighborhoods compared to large chains.”

We ask that you join us in supporting small businesses like all of our advertisers and we appreciate more than you ever know when you pick up a Traders Guide at your favorite shop, advertise your small business, call in your free classified ads and tell folks about us!

And thank you Jack Garrett Ford for being one of our long-time advertisers! 💙
