WMOK – Metropolis, IL – It’s National Small Business Week (May 3–9), and here in Metropolis, that means a whole lot more than just a line on a calendar. From the shops lining Market Street to the family-run operations tucked away in Joppa, Unionville, and up on the bluff in New Columbia, our small businesses are the literal heartbeat of Massac County.
When you spend your dollars at a local shop, you aren’t just buying a product; you’re helping a neighbor keep the lights on, sponsoring a Little League jersey, and ensuring our community stays vibrant and unique.
How to Support Your Neighbors
You don’t have to own a business to participate. Here are a few “short and sweet” ways to show some love:

Shop Small First: Before you click “buy” on a big-box website, check if a shop in Massac County has what you need.
