"Family-owned businesses are more than just storefronts. They are the baker who opens before sunrise, the print shop that still knows your name, the florist who remembers the bouquet for your anniversary. These businesses preserve traditions, maintain cultural memory, and provide essential services to communities that might otherwise be overlooked. In a city and state where rents rise and trends shift quickly, these enterprises remain steady anchors."
"Last month, Silly Nice and stupidDOPE launched a special initiative in honor of Small Business Month: a statewide spotlight on family-owned businesses that shape New York's identity. The response was immediate and heartfelt. Nominations poured in from residents who wanted their favorite bakeries, repair shops, florists, and neighborhood restaurants to be recognized for their dedication. Due to overwhelming enthusiasm, Silly Nice and stupidDOPE have decided to expand the program beyond Small Business Month and continue it through the end of the year."
Silly Nice and stupidDOPE launched a statewide spotlight during Small Business Month to honor family-owned businesses that shape New York's identity. Residents nominated bakeries, repair shops, florists, and neighborhood restaurants, prompting overwhelming enthusiasm. The program has been extended through the end of the year to continue elevating family enterprises. The initiative highlights how these businesses preserve traditions, maintain cultural memory, provide essential services, hire locally, and build personal customer relationships. Nominations can be emailed to info@stupidDOPE.com and should include the business name, neighborhood or city, website URL, and a few sentences explaining why the business stands out, with optional details like signature products and years in operation.
