Shop Small for everyday essentials

It’s easy to get into a groove when you’re shopping for the basics...but Portland’s wealth of independent, local stores and services offer you the opportunity to branch out and support entrepreneurs of color while you’re checking off your list.  

You may also discover new providers by visiting a popup market – over the past year+, Black Market Events has been presenting a series of such events to introduce you to a variety of small businesses all in one place.

Follow Prosper Portland on Instagram; check right here on ShopSmallPDX; and visit mercatuspdx.com to find small, local businesses that provide everyday essentials: local hardware stores and services offering everything from plumbing and lighting fixtures to the essential nuts, bolts and tools to help with your home repair; cards & paper goods; florists and plants; meat markets; produce shops; workwear; pharmacy; bakeries and grocery stores. Happy shopping!
