In every city and town, small businesses in Ohio form the heart of the community—run by passionate owners and dedicated teams. Miami Valley Thrive is here to present and connect you with the local businesses that meet your needs.
When we started Miami Valley Thrive, we wanted to do more than just highlight local businesses, we wanted to champion the spirit of the Buckeye community. Supporting small businesses isn’t just about convenience; it’s about strengthening local economies, creating jobs, fostering connections, and breathing in the uniqueness of the Ohio experience.
68% of every dollar spent at a locally owned business stays within the community.
Even local chains reinvest 43% of their revenue back into the local economy.
Shopping local helps create jobs, sustain families, and support community initiatives.
By choosing the local businesses of the South-West Ohio area, you’re making a difference. From the areas just north of Dayton to King's Island to the Cincinnati and the Ohio River to Nothern Kentucky let it shine on you. Whether you're a resident, a welcome visitor, or entrepreneur, we invite you to explore and support the businesses and sites that make the Miami Valley Area Thrive!
