How to Support Local Businesses

May 11, 2020

Part of what makes living in a Cothran Homes community so special are the bonds you form with the people around you. But what’s so incredible is that those relationships aren’t just limited to your neighbors, but to those who run the local businesses that make your town so enjoyable.   From your favorite spot for pizza and drinks in the afternoon to the little shop where you can always find something special for someone else, the local businesses around Greenville add so much to our daily lives. While you’re spending more time at home right now, there’s no better time to support the businesses that love you back! Here are a few easy and effective ways to give back to the local businesses in your town.

  Supporting Local Businesses in Greenville

  Delivery and Pickup: Many restaurants and bars are still offering food delivery through services like Grubhub, DoorDash, and UberEats, as well as no-contact, curbside pickup options. Check out the websites of your favorite eateries and order a meal when you can. A few places are even offering to-go cocktails… which means happy hour at home just got so much more fun. Extra tips are especially helpful too!   Social Media: In today’s digital world (and especially with everyone online at the moment), there’s no better way to show your love for your favorite local spot than by sharing something about it on social media. Have a favorite memory? Make a story on Instagram. Have a photo of a delicious meal? Share a post on Facebook. You can also help to put the spotlight on places like museums offering virtual tours and learning opportunities.   Online Services: From yoga studios to gyms, many businesses are now offering their services completely online. Take a look at their websites to see what kind of classes you can take from the comfort of your spacious home! You’ll love this unique way of staying active and supporting local businesses.    Purchase Gift Cards: This is especially helpful to restaurants and shops that can’t continue to operate at the moment. Purchasing a gift card for later use ensures that the business still has money coming in, and shows an incredible amount of support on your part. When you do get to use the gift card, it’ll be even more special.    Looking for an easy and delicious dinner for your Friday night movie marathon or weekend happy hour with friends on Zoom? Order from our tried-and-true local gems! Tipsy Taco serves irresistible Tex-Mex, The Lazy Chicken serves your favorite chicken-based appetizers and meals, Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar serves all of the fresh, tasty seafood you love, and Sidewall Pizza Company is your go-to for delicious homemade pizza.    From wineries and restaurants to attractions and museums, the places where you love to spend your time are just as eager as you to get back to business and connect with one another. In the meantime, do what you can to show your support and let them know how much they mean to you and your community!
