Candy, clothing, Holiday Cards, and maybe even haircuts – are all ways to ‘shop small.’
“Local small businesses are the heart of the community,” said Elizabeth Ponce. Who is just one of the many neighbors who owns a small business in Downtown Meridian. With her husband, she manages a hair salon and a clothing store, called Inspired by Love.
“So, welcome to our boutique! We want to have places in our local downtowns, we want to be able to bring our families, create memories, right in the same town that we live in. And our small businesses cannot survive obviously without people [that are] supporting us,” said Ponce.
