Small Business Season

Celebrate Small Business Season in Platteville!

We’re excited to kick off Small Business Season 2026 on November 1! The Platteville Regional Chamber and Platteville Main Street are teaming up for a community-wide campaign running through December 31 to celebrate the local businesses that make our community special.

This year’s theme is “Every Purchase Has Purpose.” Where we choose to spend our money matters. Shopping local helps support jobs, strengthens our local economy, and keeps our community connected.

From shopping and dining to entertainment, services, and unique gifts from local makers, there are plenty of ways to support Platteville businesses throughout the holiday season.

Shopping Local Is KIND

When it comes to shopping local, remember the benefits of buying small with KIND!

K — Knowledge: Local businesses know their products and services. They can offer personal recommendations, answer questions, and help you find what you're looking for.

I — Investment: Shopping locally helps keep money circulating in our community. Your purchases help support local jobs, businesses, and the Platteville economy.

N — Neighbors: Local businesses are part of what makes Platteville a great place to live. They support community events, sponsor local teams, and help make our town what it is. Let's return that support by shopping local!

D — Dreams: Every local business started with an idea and someone willing to pursue it. Supporting small businesses helps entrepreneurs continue doing what they love and encourages future business owners to build their dreams right here in our community.

Celebrate Small Business Season With Us!

Looking for another reason to shop local? The Platteville Regional Chamber's Jolly Jingle promotion returns this holiday season! Shop at participating businesses from November 1 through December 16, then bring your original receipts to the Chamber office to receive entry tickets for weekly drawings and the grand prize drawing. You'll receive one entry for every $10 spent, with a maximum of 10 tickets per receipt.

There are so many ways to support local businesses during the holidays. Pick up gifts for family and friends, grab dinner at a local restaurant, shop for holiday party outfits, book a service, or treat yourself to something special. Even sharing a local business's social media post can help spread the word!

This holiday season, let's make a point to shop small, support our neighbors, and keep our spending close to home. Join the Platteville Regional Chamber and Platteville Main Street in celebrating Small Business Season from November 1 through December 31.

Every purchase has purpose. Let's make ours count!
