Independent Retailer Month focuses on celebrating the charm and authenticity of shopping at locally owned and independently operated businesses within our community.
While big box stores may offer convenience, this month – and hopefully throughout the year – let's embrace the special connections that form when local residents support their own businesses.
The following businesses have been nominated by Chad readers at www.facebook.com/mansfieldchad as of Tuesday, July 8.
