In a year when small, local businesses have been struggling due to shut-downs and an increase in online shopping, I encourage you to think about being intentional with how you spend your money this Christmas season.
There are many ways to do this. From buying gift cards to local businesses and restaurants for friends and family to selecting hand-crafted items from local artisans, there has been no better time to make an impact for a small businesses than this Christmas.
Listed below are a few of my favorite local, independent businesses:
- Joseph-Beth Booksellers (Lexington, KY) www.josephbeth.com
- Autumn & Company (Nicholasville, KY) www.autumnandcompany.ky.business.site
- Old Kentucky Chocolates (Lexington, KY) www.oldkycandy.com
- Bella Notte Italian Restaurant (Lexington, KY) www.bellalexington.com
- *And for the person who wants to learn something new* AKF Lexington Martial Arts (Nicholasville, KY) www.akflexington.com
So there you have it, just a few of my favorite small businesses in Lexington.
Merry Christmas and Happy Shopping!
