We all know its a boost to the Temple and Belton area economies when we spend our spend our hard-earned money with friends, family and neighbors. Money spent locally, stays local.

It’s simple, but we don’t always know where to find what we are looking for, so we often click our way to Amazon or other retail giants.

To help you find the products and services you want from local sources, Our Town Temple is creating a Locally Owned Business Guide that features stores, services, restaurants and bakeries, venues, bars, boutiques and more.

The guide will be dispersed electronically and in print to every business that participates, plus it will be placed in high traffic locations to ensure maximum distribution.

Any locally owned, non-chain business located between Eddy, Salado, Rogers, Moody and Morgan’s Point is welcome to participate. Brick-and-mortar businesses, home businesses and online businesses are all welcome.

Please send a brief description of your business, a high resolution logo and a high resolution photograph to OurTownTemple@gmail.com. Please put “business guide” in the  email subject field. Be sure to include contact information such as email, phone, web address or social media address if desired.

There is a $10 fee to have your business included in the guide to cover printing costs. Payment via check, debit or credit card, or Venmo will be arranged once your information is received.

Our Town Temple plans to publish this guide annually. For additional information, call David Stone at (254) 231-1574.
