Local Brands Sold by Shop Small Chicago
Small creative businesses, often early stage or one-person operations and/or woman- and minority-owned, have been devasted by the loss of shopping events during this pandemic, the kind of pop-up events, short term retail store fronts, and other holiday and seasonal programs that bring small brands and consumers together. We THANK YOU for shopping with us and supporting small businesses online here. Looking for something made locally but can't find it? Please reach out via our Contact Us form! We are always looking for ways to connect brands and you, the consumer.
