From the charming boutiques in downtown Burgaw to the coastal shops of Surf City and the farm stands of rural Pender County, our local entrepreneurs are more than business owners — they are our neighbors, friends, and community leaders. They sponsor our little leagues, support our schools, and bring character to every corner of our county.
Pender County’s small businesses provide essential services, unique products, and unforgettable experiences — all while creating jobs and investing in the future of our towns. During Small Business Week, we salute the visionaries who dare to dream, the makers who create, and the doers who keep going, even in challenging times.
How you can support small businesses this week:
- Shop local – in-store or online
- Leave a positive review
- Share your favorite businesses on social media
- Attend community events and markets
- Say thank you — it goes a long way
Let’s use this week to uplift the small businesses that make Pender County a special place to live, work, and visit.
