2025 Small Business Season Launches

The Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce proudly announces the launch of its 2025 Small Business Season, a community-wide initiative celebrating the businesses that keep the local economy thriving. Running from November 1 through December 31, this year’s campaign carries the powerful message: Every Purchase Has a Purpose.

Every time you choose to shop or dine local, you’re buying more than a product or service. You’re investing in dreams, jobs, and the uniqueness of our community. Small Business Season reminds us that local choices have a lasting impact. Together, we can help our neighbors and community thrive.

Small Business Season encourages residents to explore neighborhood favorites, discover new local gems, and share their experiences to help others do the same. From boutique shopping and dining at family-owned restaurants to attending festive community events, this initiative highlights the role small businesses play in making Lebanon and Wilson County a vibrant and connected place to live.

When you support local businesses, you’re helping fund our schools, youth programs, and community causes. Local spending builds momentum, powering the people, places, and possibilities that define our community. Data shows that for every $100 spent at a local business, approximately $68 stays in the community, compared to only $43 at a national chain. That money supports local jobs, infrastructure and essential services — creating a ripple effect that benefits everyone.

To bring the season to life, the Chamber will host a variety of activities, including the promotion of the TennCommUNITY initiative, designed to make shopping and supporting local fun and rewarding.
