Nominate Your Favorite KC Small Business
We just launched a new series called KC Originals, and it’s all about spotlighting the small businesses that give Kansas City its unique flavor.
From cozy coffee shops in Brookside to vintage shops in the Crossroads and barbershops on Troost—these are the places that make KC shine.
Know a business that deserves some love? Nominate them! You can even nominate your own business. (Yes, we see you hustling out there. You deserve a shout-out.)
🎉 Whether it’s a taco stand that’s been around for decades or a brand-new boutique making waves, we want to hear about it.
We’ll pick businesses to feature in articles, videos, and social media posts. That means more eyes on the businesses you care about.
Why It All Matters
Kansas City is more than just barbecue and fountains (though we love those too!). It’s the people, the stories, the neighborhoods, and the everyday events that bring us together.
When you:
- Subscribe to the newsletter

- Nominate a local business
…you’re not just helping us—but helping your whole community.
You’re giving local businesses a boost, helping neighbors find something fun to do, and reminding people that Kansas City is full of good energy, good people, and good stories. Let’s celebrate Kansas City together!
