Last update: 5 hours ago

Local Markets & Main Street: Fresh Market at Hershey Towne Square is turning its Food Hall and Farmers Market into a true small-business hub, with a growing mix of local food makers, artisan goods, and diverse chef-driven vendors. Retail Advocacy: Pretty Thai earned the National Retail Federation’s “America’s Retail Champion” nod, highlighting how small retailers are pushing for policy change. Cyber & Payments Security: Hosted.com warns that outdated WordPress plugins can expose small sites to hacks, malware, and crashes—another reminder to keep updates tight. SME Confidence: A Swiss SME survey finds 86% expect to be operating in 10 years, even as rising costs and competition weigh on many. Disaster Relief for SMBs: The SBA opened low-interest disaster loans for wind and drought impacts in Idaho and Shoshone counties, including support for businesses and nonprofits. Local Funding Push: GIDA launched Elevate Glynn, a $1M program to help entrepreneurs access capital and resources. Tech for Small Business: Starling rolled out free Expense Cards and Team Access to help owners delegate spending without losing control. Energy & Outage Lessons: Australia’s Telstra outage shows how fragile connectivity can hit payments, transport, and emergency services. Community Events: Tumon Night Market returns in Guam after weather cancellation, keeping weekly local vendor momentum going.
