Shop Small this Holiday Season!

This year is expected to be a record-breaking holiday shopping season reaching $910 billion. Despite the pandemic, inflation, supply chain issues and low inventory levels — consumers are ready and willing to spend.

But the question remains, where will we spend and who are we supporting with our dollars? The reality is that many small businesses and restaurants are barely surviving the pandemic and they need our support. Your money and where you choose to spend it can make a big difference to a small business and your local community.

One of the best things about our city is we are lucky to have so many amazing entrepreneurs and creatives bringing unique and joyful experiences and products to Cincinnati. They are the reasons we enjoy living here so much.

This year we are inviting you to join us in investing in the small and local businesses in your own community.

Below we’ve created a list of some of our favorite places in Cincinnati. While not exhaustive, it’s a glimpse of some wonderful people you can support today and whenever you shop!
