Independent We Stand, a movement committed to strengthening small businesses throughout the country, recently completed its annual road trip in celebration of locally owned businesses. During the road trips, Independent We Stand travels to five cities in five states in five days, visiting small, locally owned businesses at each stop and staying and eating local in each community.
The theme of this year’s trip was the Rocky Mountain Road Trip, which took Independent We Stand founder Bill Brunelle and other small business enthusiasts on a trek from Denver to Casper and Sheridan, Wyoming, to Bozeman, Montana, and Idaho Falls, Idaho, and finally to Salt Lake City. The stop in Sheridan was interrupted by a snowstorm in the area, but the team continued on to its planned stops further along the route.
