Small Business Season - 2025!

Every Purchase Has a Purpose — Shop Local This Small Business Season

From November 1 through December 31, we’re celebrating Small Business Season — a time to honor the local shops, restaurants, and service providers that make Ellsworth such a special place to live, work, and visit. Small businesses are the heartbeat of our community, shaping our culture and preserving the character of our main streets. Each purchase, meal, or service you keep local strengthens our economy, supports local jobs, and uplifts the friends and neighbors who reinvest right back into our community.

When you choose to shop, dine, and do business locally, you’re making a meaningful investment in Ellsworth’s future. Small businesses are more than storefronts — they’re the innovators, risk-takers, and community supporters who give back in countless ways. This holiday season, we encourage you to make every purchase count.

✨ Support our local retailers, eateries, and taverns — and discover special offers, promotions, and seasonal sales by visiting the HOT DEALS tab on our website.

🎁 Consider gifting Ellsworth Bucks this holiday season! This community currency can be purchased and spent like cash at participating local merchants — the perfect way to give a gift that stays local and supports our hometown businesses. Learn more at HERE.
