We love shopping at our favorite independent stores, dining at family-owned neighborhood restaurants, and giving our kids a treat at the local ice cream parlor. If that seems old fashioned, it isn’t… it’s simply how we live the independent dream.
Now more than ever is the perfect time to support the independent businesses that support our communities and make them special.
At REELZ, we know the lifeblood of America comes from the businesses that keep our country and economy strong by providing the products, services, and even the entertainment we need. Independent businesses also provide the jobs that keep America working. We know this because REELZ is a family-owned and operated independent business and we’ve been proudly keeping you entertained and informed since our launch on Satellite TV in 2006.
People across America are saying that they want to help independent business grow and thrive. While REELZ has grown into a leading Cable, Satellite, and Streaming Television provider, we are grateful that we have been able to do so– thanks to our viewers and our advertisers.
At REELZ, we’re not just an independent business — we support independent businesses, too. We all have our favorite coffee shop, restaurant, hardware store, bookstore or pet shop. It’s hard for these businesses to survive competition from big box stores and chains, which is why independent businesses and non-profits need the spotlight more than ever.
Explore the inspiring stories on our Independent News Page for updates, insights, and tips from — and about — small business owners and entrepreneurs who are making a real difference in their communities.
It’s your neighborhood — make it thrive. Visit your local restaurants and stores and dine or shop locally. You’ll be supporting a local business and its employees — even if you order online or by phone. Stop by your neighborhood hardware store, bookstore, or boutique. Treat your “best friend” to something special from the local pet store.
Local businesses are the heart of your community — let’s keep them strong together.
