Small Business Week Has Arrived!

Let’s Show Up for Montgomery!

Small Business Week (May 3–9) is more than just a moment on the calendar, it’s a powerful reminder of how much our local businesses do for this community every single day. From sponsoring youth sports teams and supporting local events to creating jobs and bringing character to our town, Montgomery’s small businesses are the backbone of everything that makes this community special.

When you choose to shop local, you’re doing more than making a purchase—you’re making an investment in Montgomery’s future. Every dollar spent at a local business helps keep money circulating within our community, supports local families, and strengthens the neighborhoods we call home.

Why Shop Small?

• Keep money in our local economy
• Support local jobs and families
• Strengthen our community
• Give back to the businesses that support us all year long

The Montgomery Business Association is proud to represent and support the incredible small businesses that keep our town vibrant, unique, and thriving. During Small Business Week—and every week—we encourage you to make a conscious effort to support these businesses, whether it’s dining locally, shopping at a neighborhood store, or utilizing local services.

Shop Local. Support Community. Strengthen Montgomery.
