What’s your favorite small business in Lexington? That’s what we asked our newsletter readers in honor of the city’s Salute to Small Business Week, an occasion to celebrate LEX’s coffee shops, boutique stores, bakeries, bookstores, salons, creatives, maintenance workers, and too many others to name.

You named a few of your faves:

  • “I would like to celebrate a small business: The Lamp Place at the corner of Clay and Main streets. Its unique array of lamps is amazing.” — Janet G.
  • Wilson’s Grocery and Wildings Bookstore (which opens on the 30th!).” — Lindsey M.
  • Lexington Salt Cave & Wellness! A sanctuary of calm and self-care!” — Lara L.
  • “We would love the opportunity to be considered by LEXtoday. Appreciate you.” — Kevin Y., owner of Crushr Lexington, “a mobile dumpster compaction service that helps businesses reduce waste hauls by up to 65%.”

Got any others you’d like to see in a newsletter? Send them in.
