Did you know Indianapolis is home to hundreds of small businesses? In fact, Hoosiers are so good at supporting local that USA Today named Indy the No. 17 best city in the US to start a business in 2024.
In honor of our many movers and shakers, we’re asking readers to nominate small businesses they love so we can share them with our whole audience.
We’ll be here to share a new batch of small businesses every month, so bookmark this page to come back for more.

Anyone else already missing the Winter Olympics? | Photo via Pexels
Shocking upsets, personal confessions, and cheating accusations. Any guesses what we’re talking about? This year’s 2026 Winter Olympics brought the controversy, and the theatrics aren’t over yet.
The Closing Ceremony takes place this Sunday, Feb. 22, and WTHR will be covering the spectacle. After that, if you suddenly have a lot of time on your hands, you can easily fill it with fun local events.
The Buy
A set of shower steamers with 11 unique scents like jasmine, chamomile, lavender, and mint. The variety lets you tailor the experience to your mood: a relaxing spa night, a midday pick-me-up, or an energizing morning reset. Bonus: They make great gifts.
Another one of my favorite local businesses is Fishers Flower Farm. Check out an interview former editor Nicole did with one of the owners — and if that sparks your interest, grab tickets to a New Beginnings Cut Flower Garden Workshop before they sell out.
