From State Street to Storke Tower, and Los Olivos to Linden Avenue, independently-owned shops and restaurants help our region thrive. As we all face the economic disruptions wrought by COVID-19, we at the Independent want to offer you a new way for you to support local businesses, and help us continue to serve our readers.

“Adopt A Shop” is an initiative designed to promote locally-owned businesses and at the same time support local journalism. Help your favorite restaurant, store, non-profit organization or business advertise in the Independent — at very discounted rates — so that they can remain strong, keep their workers employed, serve their customers, and let the community know that they’re still open, even if at reduced levels.

1. Purchase one of the “Adopt A Shop” packages below.

2. The Independent will contact you for details on the business(es) you would like to donate advertising space to.
