During Small Business Month in May, The LOOP celebrates all small businesses and those who support them. Visitors are encouraged to share a photo of their market purchases on Instagram or Facebook with the hashtags #TheLOOPMKT and #ShopSmall and tag @TheLOOPFLB to nominate one of The LOOP’s small business vendors. In return, The LOOP will select one winner to receive a $100 gift card for The MKT and one vendor will receive a complimentary market space in June. It’s a win – win!
