Support Local: Small Businesses in Northern Kentucky
Browse the list of Northern Kentucky small businesses, from coffee shops to hotels and attractions.
We originally created this NKY Shop Local page to give our NKY restaurants, coffee shops, things to do, craft breweries, bourbon trail spots, unique shops, and watering holes a holiday boost by encouraging everyone to buy their gift cards. Since we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, our local treasures still need all the help we can provide. We're thrilled that vaccines are here and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Let's all do what we can to help our Northern Kentucky small businesses make it through the next few months! We'll keep this list here, both for the original gift card ideas, and as a source of inspiration for local places you could support through the winter.
This is just a starting point of ideas in the Covington, Newport, and Florence areas. There are many other local favorites who would appreciate some help to weather the effects of wintertime and the pandemic. Our list is below (*with direct gift card purchase links where available, or links to their social media):
