Small Business Week is almost here, and we’re gearing up to spread the local love.

We’ve partnered with some of Raleigh’s small businesses to celebrate the folks who make up the backbone of our local economy.

From Sunday, May 4 to Saturday, May 10, you can expect Q+A’s with local entrepreneurs that shine a light on what it’s like being a part of Raleigh’s small business community.

We have something special for our readers, too. We’ve created an interactive map of can’t miss deals, limited edition menu items, and fun events being offered exclusively during Small Business Week.

From enjoying specialty cocktail at Heights House to attending a market hosted by Triangle Pop Up, there will be plenty of ways to support Raleigh’s small businesses.
