In honor of National Small Business Week (Sept. 22 – 24), Tunheim—proudly a woman-owned small business—is showing some love for local small businesses. And with the uncertainty that many of our favorite Twin Cities hot spots face, we couldn’t think of a better time to show our support.
There is great power in showing support and giving back to others who need it the most; and after hearing that many notable, longstanding Minnesota businesses have already closed their doors for good, it’s more important than ever to shop local. Whether you’re dining (safely!) al fresco at your neighborhood, subscribing to your local paper (hard copy!), donating to a worthy cause that hits close to home or swinging by your favorite shop to pick up a gift through curbside pick-up, going out of your way during this socially-distant era to show your local businesses that you’re behind them is something that doesn’t go unnoticed.
Our agency has a long history of servicing clients in the entertainment and hospitality space, so this topic hits close to home for us. To help motivate you to eat, drink, and shop local, we are sharing a few of our favorite local gems. Have a favorite local business or organization that you’d like to share? We’re all ears! Reach out on any of our social media platforms, we’d love to hear from you.
