Why Supporting Small Businesses Matters in Aiken
Small businesses are the heartbeat of Aiken’s economy and charm. They represent over 99% of businesses in South Carolina, employ nearly 43% of the workforce, and created 70.9% of net new jobs in a recent year (adding over 25,000 jobs statewide). 
In Aiken, they add unique personality to the historic downtown and beyond while complementing larger employers like the Savannah River Site. With tourism up 10% in 2025 (adding thousands of visitors), small shops, cafés, and markets helped drive record sales and economic vitality. 
Key Benefits in Aiken
• Local Economic Boost: Money spent in town recirculates through wages, suppliers, and reinvestment, far more than at chains.
• Job Creation & Resilience: Flexible opportunities in retail, dining, and services help build a diverse economy.
• Community Character: Boutiques, antique shops, galleries, and eateries create that welcoming Southern vibe.
• Tourism & Events: Small businesses shine during Fresh After 5 evening markets, Small Business Saturday, and upcoming festivals, drawing visitors who support local jobs and keep storefronts thriving.
How to Support Them
• Shop small, stroll Laurens Street, Mitchell Shopping Center, or wherever you find a small business for unique finds and meals.
• Visit the Farmers Market for direct-from-local goods.
• Attend evening markets and events, your presence makes a difference.
Every purchase at a small business in Aiken strengthens jobs, preserves historic charm, and keeps the city vibrant and welcoming.
Shop local, you’re investing in Aiken’s future!

22 years in this industry, and a life that’s had its fair share of challenges...but it’s mine.
Being a single mom will always be my biggest role. There were moments I wasn’t sure how I’d keep everything going, but somehow I found a way and I still do.
Gallery J is more than a salon to me. It’s something I’ve poured years of hard work, dedication, and heart into. The legacy has been there since 1983, and being a part of it continuing means so much to me. And right now, I’m honestly just so grateful. The salon is thriving, both locations are growing, and I get to work alongside such talented, driven women who truly care about what they do. I’m also so proud to have my brother as the owner of our Alley location it makes it even more special to be building this together.
At 42, I’m feeling excited and hopeful for what’s ahead, both in life and in business.
To everyone who has supported me, trusted me, and continues to show up for my business thank you. You’re not only supporting something I care deeply about, you’re helping me provide for my family and continue showing up as the best mom I can be. That means more to me than I could ever fully put into words 🤍
