Support local this National Small Business Week

The annual event gives us all a chance to celebrate the small businesses that serve the Tampa Bay area.

National Small Business Week is underway, running through Saturday, May 4. The US Small Business Administration has celebrated the week for 60+ years, using it to acknowledge “the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.”

That got us thinking. Which small businesses do we want to acknowledge?

We’d love to hear your favorite local small businesses. Drop us an email or comment on our Instagram — that way we can share your recommendations in a future newsletter.
