It seems like every time we scroll through the news or social media, we hear about another beloved St. Pete business closing its doors.
All around St. Pete small businesses are feeling the squeeze. Each time a shop closes its doors, we lose more than just a place to grab a bite, buy a gift or enjoy a service. We lose a piece of what makes our city unique. These businesses are built on dreams, hard work and community connection. They are the heartbeat of this city.
Supporting local doesn’t always mean spending big. Sometimes it’s as simple as grabbing a coffee from the local cafe, liking and sharing a post on social media or telling a friend about your favorite shop. These small acts add up, creating a ripple effect that helps keep doors open and lights on.
Right now, Tasty Treats Cafe is one of those local gems that could really use some extra love. Their story is one many businesses share. Talented, passionate owners doing everything they can to keep going in a challenging time. Staying afloat takes more than passion. It takes people showing up!
If we want to keep St. Pete’s charm alive, we can’t wait until it’s too late. Show up, shop small and let’s keep our community thriving together.
