Shop local with the 2021 Edmond Guide

Supporting local businesses is essential. Buying local has had an even greater focus since the global COVID-19 pandemic has limited travel and put more strain on all types of businesses. It can be a challenge to support local if you aren’t aware of all the options available to eat, shop, or entertain in your local community. Visit Edmond helps solve this problem by publishing their 2021 Edmond Guide that lists a variety of businesses and opportunities to support Edmond locally.

The new 2021 Guide from Visit Edmond lists over 70 businesses that offer a wide variety of things to do and see. The guide includes restaurants, shops, hotels, public recreation areas, bars, and much more. Supporting local businesses here in Edmond provides benefits beyond your enjoyment. These local shops and eateries pump life into our economy by providing jobs, tax revenue, exciting arts and entertainment, and much more.

See

“My boyfriend and I had a drink at Frenzy, dinner at The Mule, and went for a walk downtown. We came across the adorable arrow and discovered the post cards. I kept walking, but he stayed back, with a sly grin. By Tuesday, I had a cute Edmond postcard from him. I love sending mail to people, so that made it even more adorable.”

– Molly Fleming, Communications Supervisor at Oklahoma City-County Health Department

Stay
