The Indie - Independent Small Business of the Year Award Independent We Stand
Honoring the best locally

2012 Winner

Do you know of a locally owned business that has gone out of their way to support their community?

Maybe they pitched in to help clear the damage after a recent storm or made sure the neighborhood little league team had uniforms for the upcoming season. Or how about a locally owned business that went above and beyond to deliver great customer service? If so, we want to recognize and reward them as the best locally owned business in the country with the Independent We Stand Independent Business of the Year Award, "The Indie."
