We asked, you delivered. A week ago, we took to Instagram to ask what your favorite local business is.
Well — a little over 115 tags later — we now have a pretty substantial list. Naturally, we thought we’d round them all up in one place + issue you(and ourselves) achallenge: stop by three places you haven’t been to before.
Feel free to tag us on Instagram for a chance to be featured on next Monday’s newsletter.
We love hearing from our readers — let us know where you shop local. | 📸 : @SATXtoday team
Did your business make the list? We’d love to keep updating this page over the week. Help us reach 150 submissions by emailing us your favorite SATX spot to shop small.
