Support Local Businesses this Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend is almost here and our Lake Area Chamber is excited as our area businesses start to take off for the season. Lake of the Ozarks has started to bustle with the feeling of summer. As you may start to get out and about, it's still just as important as ever to support local businesses at the Lake of the Ozarks. We've included some ways you can support your favorite local spots this long holiday weekend.


Dine Out or Grab Dinner to Go

Restaurants are starting to open back up for dine-in options. If you've missed sitting at a restaurant table and being waited on, this is your chance to support those places you've been missing so much. If you're more comfortable staying home or it's more convenient for your family to eat at home, this weekend is your chance to take advantage of take out restaurant options!

Consult Local Businesses for Home Improvements

As you spend time in and around your home this holiday weekend, you may be creating a mental list of improvement projects. Consider hiring a local company to complete your work, if you're looking to hire it out. If you want to take on those projects yourself, we encourage you to purchase your materials from a local spot, as well!

Spend Time Shopping with Family

A long holiday weekend means a lot of stores will be offering big sales. Take advantage and frequent your favorite local spots to get your shopping fix. It's a fantastic way to support your local stores and spend quality time with your friends and family. If you're more comfortable staying home, many local shops are offering online ordering options so you can still show your support!


Purchase Local Foods

Holiday weekends are all about spending time with loved ones and eating yummy food. Bbq style meals are a staple for summer weekends! Find the freshest, local food suppliers to support local producers and stores that sell their products.

Support Local Floral Shops

Memorial Day Weekend is a popular time to visit the grave sites of soldiers and other family members. Many people take flowers to cemeteries as a way to honor those who served our country. If you plan to decorate memorials this holiday weekend, consider purchasing your beautiful arrangements from a local flower shop!

Now that you know some unique ways you can support local businesses this holiday weekend, you're ready to plan your weekend of fun. Our Lake Area Chamber would also like to remind everyone that the purpose of this holiday is to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Take time to honor those soldiers who are no longer here to enjoy our amazing freedoms they fought so hard for!
