Small Business Week has arrived in Charleston

Join us at CHStoday, we’re celebrating Small Business Week in Charleston from Sunday, May 4, to Saturday, May 10.

This image shows a beautifully handcrafted crochet shawl hanging against a distressed, vintage-style white wooden door. The shawl features a triangular design with alternating stripes of neutral tones—cream, beige, gray, and brown. It is adorned with a fringe border, adding texture and a cozy, rustic aesthetic to the overall look.

Check out PrimaCrochetbyJK for handcrafted pieces designed with ballet dancers in mind.

Small Business Week is almost here, and we’re gearing up to spread the local love.

We’ve partnered with some of Charleston’s small businesses to celebrate the folks who make up the backbone of our local economy.

From Sunday, May 4 to Saturday, May 10, you can expect roundups, guides, and Q+As with local entrepreneurs that shine a light on what it’s like being a part of Charleston’s small business community.

We have something special for our readers, too. We’ve created an interactive map of can-not-miss deals and fun events being offered exclusively during Small Business Week.

From enjoying 20% off at PrimaCrochetbyJK to attending “All You Can Eat Pancakes” on Friday for $8 at Early Bird Diner, there will be plenty of ways to support the Holy City’s small businesses.
