Tell Patch About Amazing Small Businesses In Your Community

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL — If the number of new restaurants and shops opening in New Port Richey and surrounding towns are any indication, small businesses are making a major comeback following the coronavirus pandemic.

Unlike major chains stores and restaurants that can afford to hire public relations and marketing firms to get the word out about their businesses, small businesses rely mostly on word of mouth.
That's where our readers come in.

If you've stumbled upon an amazing new antique shop or art studio, frequent a favorite mom-and-pop business or have discovered a new restaurant or cafe that makes your taste buds cry out for more, send us some photos and details about the business. Be sure to include what makes this shop or restaurant so special.

Don't be bashful. If you're a small business owner who has opened a new shop offering unique items for sale or a restaurant, bakery or cafe with a mouth-watering assortment, we'd love to help you get the word out.

We also want to hear from those small businesses who are continuing to recover from the pandemic and are looking for ways to let customers know they're back in business or let job seekers know they have positions available.

And we're always eager to tell readers about small business owners who are doing their part to help the community recover, whether it's providing food to the homeless or hosting a fundraiser in which the proceeds go to a deserving local charity.

Patch's mission is to provide hyperlocal news that's important to the communities we serve. As part of that mission, we love to promote and support our small business community. Everyone has a story to tell, and we want to tell yours.

Email photos and details to editor D'Ann Lawrence White at dann.white@patch.com.

Note: We can only accept photos you've taken yourself or have the permission of the photographer to share with Patch.
