Local business

Here's why it's important to support locally-owned Montana businesses during the holiday season.

Here are a few excellent local businesses where you can find unique holiday gifts in Bozeman.

It's great to share more news of local Bozeman businesses doing well, and even expanding their footprint. The downtown Bozeman 'company' at hand has a very local following and client base. Their popularity is on display many times a year at community event.

Do you have a sweet tooth and want to run a local business in Montana? If so, an opportunity has just possibly come onto the market in Three Forks.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of every town in Montana. In 2021, Montana was named the Best State to Open a Business and even then, there's a five-year business survival rate of 53.4%.

An honest plea for guidance from an area business owner sparked a flurry of online conversation, filled with honesty, advice, commiseration, rough perspectives, and a hefty dose of abrasive snap backs.

Handmade candles seem to be a Montana-made specialty. Small businesses at their best creating custom items. Your choices of design, fragrance, and decoration are vast with many Montana based makers.

There's no better way to support small town Montana that has been affected by the historic flooding than to spend your dollars directly with locally owned businesses.

I just noticed this badge recently, although the "Open to All" inclusive feature has been around since 2018. Want to find LGBTQ+ friendly restaurants, bars and businesses in Montana? It's never been easier.

I really hope someone buys this joint and keeps it a hotel. Just my two cents but I've always loved that the Western Heritage Inn was a hidden gem of East Main Street. It's never been fancy. It's always been tidy.

You've seen them, right? Nationally based pages and groups trying to appear as local Bozeman experts. People that actually live here aren't having it and have not been shy about their comments.

I had the most pleasant experiences with some hard working small businesses this chaotic holiday week. We're busy. They're busy. Everybody is short-handed.
