In an effort to support local businesses and promote economic growth, the Regional Incubator for Sustainability and Entrepreneurship (RISE) has launched a digital guide for Small Business Saturday. This shared program between the
Huron County Growth Partnership and
Greater Sandusky Partnership aims to encourage community members to shop locally and explore the unique offerings of Erie County and Huron County establishments.
The digital guide is designed to showcase special promotions, discounts, and offers from local retail and food/beverage businesses. With a focus on boosting the local economy, the RISE program is making it easier than ever for residents to discover and support small businesses.
The local business communities in both Erie and Huron counties are thriving, with a diverse array of businesses offering unique experiences and products. Visitors can enjoy cozy coffee shops like
Sheri's Coffee House in Norwalk and
Cold Creek Coffee in Castalia, or explore boutiques such as
Old Soul Woodworking in Monroeville and
Erie & Anchor in Vermillion. Foodies will delight in spots like
Maca Root in Sandusky or
Norwalk Pizza Post.
For those seeking locally crafted goods,
Common Good Collective in Norwalk is a must stop shop.
Kate’s Candles in New London,
Luxury Floral Arrangements located in Willard, and
Island Sham Farmhouse in Sandusky provide a unique shopping experience. These local gems are just a few examples of the many businesses that make Erie and Huron counties vibrant and thriving places to live, work, and visit.
The digital guide is accessible via QR codes displayed at partner shops, the
RISE Facebook page, libraries in both counties,
Shores and Islands Ohio, Huron County Growth Partnership, Greater Sandusky Partnership, along with other area visitors' bureaus. This user-friendly approach ensures that residents can effortlessly browse and take advantage of the various deals and offers during Small Business Saturday on Nov. 30.

Let's come together to make this Small Business Saturday a memorable one for our hardworking entrepreneurs and business owners.”
