Why stop at Small Business Saturday? Support small businesses every day. 🫶

Here’s the thing about small businesses: we’re like that favorite sweater you just can’t part with—cozy, familiar, and way more reliable than you’d expect. At Press Market, we know firsthand why small businesses matter because, well, we are one!
When you support a small business like ours, you’re not just buying a smoothie or a cute vase (though seriously, have you seen our vases?). You’re fueling big dreams, covering hockey tournaments, donating to local charities, and the occasional deep-cleaning of our giant pink doors. (Yes, we went BIG on pink—and no, we don’t regret it!)

Those doors are more than just a pop of color; they’re a symbol of everything we stand for: bold choices, a warm welcome, and a space that feels like a little slice of joy. When you walk through them, you’re stepping into more than a restaurant, you’re stepping into a community where everyone’s got a seat at the table.
Small businesses like ours keep things fun, personal, and just a little over-the-top (in the best way). We remember your name, your go-to burrito order, and that you love just a little extra chocolate in your “Nuts for Chocolate” smoothie. We’re here to make your day brighter—giant pink doors and all.
So why do small businesses matter? Without you, there’s no us—so keep showing up, and we’ll keep the burritos, vases, and smiles coming. 💕
All the love,
The Press Market Team

They also foster close connections with customers, offering a personal touch that’s hard to find in bigger chains. Beyond economics, small businesses drive local culture and community engagement, sponsoring events, mentoring young talent, and giving back in ways that matter. Supporting them means supporting…
