Local Shops Launch Taste of Kalamazoo Subscription Boxes
One thing we’ve learned since the pandemic in 2020: no one supports another local business owner like another local business owner.
Grassroots efforts to support Kalamazoo businesses reached new heights four years ago, and thankfully, have only continued to grow.
Restaurants and retailers have cohosted events and put together gift boxes for special occasions. This summer, Downtown Kalamazoo shops welcomed families with weekly discounts during Kids Day Out.
As we move into the holiday shopping season, what better gift than one that features multiple shops together?
With the Taste of Kalamazoo Subscription Box, you have can send some of the best that Downtown Kalamazoo has to offer PLUS you can sign up for recurring deliveries!
