The South Dakota Retailers Association celebrates all small businesses in South Dakota during National Small Business Week, May 2-8.
Small businesses across the state continue to make a big impact on the local economy by creating jobs and supporting their communities.
“As we kick off Small Business Week, we encourage everyone to take advantage of the unique opportunities in your community,” said SDRA Exec. Dir. Nathan Sanderson. “Small businesses are the heartbeat of our towns, and when you patronize a mom-and-pop business, you’re supporting your entire community as well.”
Small business owners work hard to grow their businesses and recognize that being an active part of the community is critical to their success. From local engagement on public service projects, to sponsorships and public-private partnerships, small business owners strive to make a difference.
“Look at the businesses that support the little league team, get active in 4-H, or help in the schools,” Sanderson continued. “It is small, local businesses. They are regularly asked for support and willingly give it!”
Small Business Week seeks to acknowledge the hard work of these businesses in cities and towns across South Dakota. All citizens are encouraged to thank those who own and operate the local service station, grocery store, bakery, flower shop and the thousands of other small businesses that drive our communities.
