“Mom and pop” shops are the small, family-owned, independent businesses that make up some of Indy’s greatest gems — and a new national list is proving this to be true.
Yelp and Entrepreneur announced their first-ever list of America’s favorite mom-and-pop shops across the country + two Indianapolis businesses made the list:
- The Botanical Bar | 1103 N. College Ave. | This plant shop offers a curated selection of high-quality houseplants, along with uniquely designed lifestyle and wellness products made by people of color + women-owned businesses.
- North Mass Boulder | 1411 Roosevelt Ave. | This rock climbing gym — which features a yoga and fitness studio, Top Out Cafe, and co-working space — also made the list, recognized by many Yelpers for fostering a strong sense of community.
The list highlights 150 businesses across the country in 10 different business categories on Yelp that best represent what it means to be an independently-owned and operated business in 2023. Cheers to these two businesses for representing Indy.
