How much is independence worth?

There are over 1200 businesses in Holly Springs. And that’s not counting the after-work entrepreneurs, the almost-ready idea growers, the side hustle maestros. They’re not just part of Holly Springs. They’re part of what makes our community great.

This Saturday is Small Business Saturday, when we’re all encouraged to go out of our way to connect with the shop, maker, designer and owner around every corner.

As an Internet company, yes, we know maybe it feels easier to do business with The Big Guys than your neighbors. And sometimes easy is all you have time or energy for. 

But we know first hand how hard so many people in Holly Springs work to make sure their businesses make it. And how much better the service can be from someone down the street vs. someone who just knows Holly Springs from a spreadsheet.

So instead of giving up on local businesses, we keep working to level the playing field by offering Internet that lets businesses in Holly Springs do more, more easily, for customers –  here, at curbside pickup and around the world. And we encourage you – whether online or in person – to connect with a business that matters to you and the community.

Maybe it’s just because we’ve been in Holly Springs for 10 years, or that we’re always going up against the next new Big Guy on the block. We believe that being local and independent matters to communities, people, and the future we all want to see here.

Here’s wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season, and wishing every business in Holly Springs the perfect balance of joy and a great balance sheet.

See you ‘round the corner this Saturday,
