"it's been difficult being a small business.

The big chains are always able to supply more than the small businesses.

Small businesses are what creates the community.

It's your local neighbors.

It's your local mom and pop shops.

It's what we do.

Things like what i'm doing now is just to show my community that i love my community and where i live and i belong here."
