Happy Independence Day!

As we gather to celebrate Independence Day, we recognize the dedication of our local entrepreneurs, veteran-owned businesses, service members, military families, and community partners. Thank you for the impact you make across our region.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and happy Fourth of July!

El Paso Small Business Spotlight

As our nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States, we're proud to recognize veteran-owned businesses that continue to strengthen our community through entrepreneurship and service. R&R Nail Spa is a wonderful example of that commitment. Founded by a veteran, the business has created a welcoming space that serves service members, veterans, military spouses, and the greater El Paso community with quality nail, pedicure, and waxing services. Their dedication to giving back reflects the lasting impact veteran entrepreneurs have on our local economy and the communities they serve.

Whether you're looking to support a veteran-owned small business or schedule your next self-care appointment, be sure to visit R&R Nail Spa's website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram to explore their services and book an appointment.
