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

We’ve partnered with some of Lexington’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+As with local entrepreneurs that shine a light on what it’s like being a part of the Horse Capital of the World’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 15% off in-store items at Sweetgrass Granola to attending private reformer classes at Boutique Reformer Pilates Studio, there will be plenty of ways to support Lexington’s small businesses.
