In The News

As I reflect on 2021, I am reminded of the kindness and support this community has shown each other, as well as to our local businesses. I want you to know how much I value and appreciate you for making a difference in the lives of our business owners. 

Time and time again you rallied around our local businesses and showed them how much you value and appreciate them, and you showed them how important they are in your life. Thank you. 

 

In return, as you can see from some of our local businesses, you mean more to them than you will ever know. Here’s what some of our local businesses are saying about you:   

 

“It is with tremendous gratitude that we greet today. Despite a pandemic, despite our street closure due to construction- you called, you emailed, and you found us through our back door. Because of you we not only survived, but thrived. Thank you.” Leslie Held, Bob’s Custom Trophie
 

“Today & every day we are thankful for you, our customers. Thank you for choosing to shop small and for loving our little space in the world.” Erin Freeburg, adorn and Feed & Foster 

 

“Yesterday was incredible. We were overwhelmed with the amount of support our local businesses received. Because of you, our businesses are successful. THANK YOU A MILLION  As always, we believe we have the best shops around the square where you can find the best gifts for others or yourself!” Pamela Bruce, Pamela’s Place 

 

“I am beyond humbled and grateful for the Love of Lula this season. So many people came out to shop our LOCAL square, and it makes my heart so happy. It is only going to get bigger and better for #squarelife as we continue to progress. Thanks to you all for supporting my big dream and shopping LOCAL.” Kami Haynes, Lula Belle Designs 

 

“We are so thankful for our wonderful customers.” Don Struebing, Todd’s Shoes for Women 

 

“I cannot thank all our customers enough for all the love and support the last 7 years. When we thank you in store or send a note in your shipped order, know you are supporting a dream, a family, and our community when we give back, too.” Amanda Binder, BnB Family Boutique 

 

We, too, want to thank our local businesses for supporting our community in so many ways. Indianola is a better place because of you. We are looking forward to a prosperous 2022!
