With six months until the holiday season, we’re reminded of the importance of shopping small and supporting local businesses, makers and artisans all year around. Opting to shop small holds a far-reaching impact that extends to every aspect of our lives. Instead of mindlessly clicking “add to cart” when shopping for a gift or giving in to the convenience of a massive grocery retailer when stocking your bar cart, consider supporting an independently-owned business. There’s a unique experience that also comes with shopping small and supporting local, just ask Ryan Corey and the team at Mr. B’s Wine and Spirits at Stanley Marketplace. Here’s what they had to say…
Shopping small not only contributes to the vibrancy of local economies, but it also fosters a sense of community and connection. When it comes to wine, independent wine shops offer a treasure trove of unique and handcrafted selections, curated with passion and expertise by knowledgeable teams. By choosing to support these small-scale establishments, you not only gain access to a diverse selection of wines, beers and spirits but also ensure the survival and growth of local businesses, ultimately enriching your drinking experience and making a positive impact in your community.
- Discover a curated collection of wines meticulously selected by our wine expert, Kristen Lindbeck. With over 10 years of experience in the wine industry and a certified wine professional, Kristen brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to hand-picked wines that are sure to delight your palate.
- Explore a diverse range of wines that embody a soulful narrative, sourced from small businesses, artisan winemakers and viniculture experts. These bottles showcase the passion, craftsmanship and unique stories behind each wine, emphasizing biodynamic and natural production methods.
- Support an environmentally conscious business committed to sustainability. We take pride in being 99% plastic bottle free and strive to make environmentally responsible decisions in every aspect of operations. From the selection of wines to the checkout experience, we prioritize eco-friendly practices.
- Embrace the opportunity to venture into new and exciting flavors. Our knowledgeable staff is well-equipped to guide you in selecting a wine that perfectly aligns with your taste preferences. With a whole world of wine waiting to be explored, our team is there to guide you and introduce you to new and interesting choices that can inform your next wine purchase.
- Contribute to your community’s prosperity by investing in a local business. By choosing to shop small, you actively support the individuals who reside and work within your community. Prioritize economic growth locally by circulating resources to benefit the people and businesses around you.
By choosing to purchase wine from these dedicated entrepreneurs rather than a big box grocery retailer, we not only gain access to exceptional and distinctive wines but also contribute to the preservation of local culture, jobs and the economy. Stop by Mr. B’s Wine and Spirits at Stanley Marketplace next time it’s wine time, and Ryan and the team there will help you pick out exactly what you didn’t even know you were looking for.
BONUS! Did you know that the Mr. B’s Stanley location has pints of Little Man Ice Cream available for purchase?!
