Summer is the perfect time to enjoy everything our community has to offer while supporting the local businesses that help make it thrive.

From locally owned restaurants and boutiques to fitness studios, entertainment venues and service providers, our small businesses create the character and energy that make our community special. When residents choose to shop local, dine local and support neighborhood businesses, they are investing directly back into the local economy, supporting jobs, families and community growth.

This season, we encourage everyone to explore local first. Try a new restaurant, attend a community event, visit a local shop or spend time enjoying the parks, trails and gathering spaces that make our region special. The choice, however small, to pick local can make a big impact for the businesses that support our schools, nonprofits and community year-round.

At the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance, we are proud to support and advocate for our local business community. This summer, let’s continue to shop locally, connect locally and celebrate the businesses and experiences that make our community such a great place to live, work and play.
