Ten local businesses receive $1,000 grants through Shop Local Macomb campaign

Ten local businesses have been announced as recipients of $1,000 grants from the 2024 Shop Local Macomb campaign. The initiative, which is organized by the Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development, encourages shoppers to give business to independently owned and operated establishments during the holiday season for the chance to win one of 10 $150 gift cards provided by First State Bank and a grant for the business they supported. In all, there were more than 735 entries. A drawing was held Monday, December 9 with organizers selecting gift card winners and grant recipients. Winning businesses include:
  • Boater City Marketplace - New Baltimore
  • Green Thyme Workshop - Richmond
  • Max & Ollie's Vintage Boutique - Mount Clemens
  • New DJ Shop - Warren
  • Riverside Vintage Market - Mount Clemens
  • Sarge & Red's - Utica
  • The Nest Collaborative - Mount Clemens
  • The Baking Room - Clinton Township
  • Uptown Girl Novelties - New Baltimore
  • Whistle Stop Hobby & Toys - St. Clair Shores
"It's incredible seeing our community come together and shop small for the campaign," said Vicky Rowinski, director, Macomb County Planning and Economic Development. "And because of this effort, we're able to award $10,000 in grants to our local retailers. These funds can make a big difference for these businesses. In the past, we've heard that the grants have been used for repairs, new equipment, staff bonuses and much more. So as we've said before, when you shop small here in Macomb County, everyone wins. Let's continue this momentum, and keep supporting our local retailers this holiday season."

Shop Local Macomb is coordinated by the Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development with support from area chambers, including Connect Macomb, the Macomb County Chamber of Commerce, the Eastpointe-Roseville Chamber of Commerce, the Northern Macomb Regional Chamber and the Anchor Bay Chamber of Commerce.
