Small Business Holiday Gift Guide 2020
Cleveland and Chattanooga, TN
As many of you know, COVID has hit small business hard this season. Unlike major companies, when you shop small there is probably an individual on the other side of the screen or counter doing a happy dance because of your order. Each purchase directly impacts dance classes, vet bills, t-ball registrations. Below I’ve put together a list of small businesses located right here in Cleveland and Chattanooga. So this holiday season, let’s support our community!
