The cars of today may not be your father’s Oldsmobile, but there’s one part of his heyday that deserves continued celebration. National Mom and Pop Business Owner Day is recognized each year on March 29, celebrating the value that small, locally owned businesses add to their communities. As much as the day is about finding inspiration from the past, it’s also about creating excitement about the future.
Chances are, you already know of a few mom-and-pop businesses in your community. From the family-owned ice cream shop on Main Street to the father-and-son hardware store on First Avenue, these are the businesses that National Mom and Pop Business Owner Day honors. They’re not just great places to shop, they’re the backbone of the community.
