Rep. Terri Sewell of Alabama’s 7th Congressional District recently conducted a Small Business Tour to emphasize the importance of supporting small businesses in advance of National Small Business Week. During her tour, she visited four local businesses to highlight their contributions to the local economy and showcase their impact on the community.
Rep. Sewell expressed admiration for the role that small businesses play as the backbone of the economy and emphasized their significance in creating jobs and driving economic growth. One of the businesses she visited was Travis Chicago Style, a local food truck known for its Polish sausage and bear burger. She also stopped by Alabama Goods, a retail store in Homewood specializing in Alabama-made products, and Bearden Design, a boutique offering women’s clothing from around the world. In Selma, Rep. Sewell visited The Coffee Shoppe, which will be honored with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 2024 Phoenix Award for Outstanding Disaster Recovery Efforts.
As part of National Small Business Week, taking place from April 28 to May 4, 2024, Rep. Sewell will host a virtual discussion titled “Terri Talks” with Jackie Smith, the owner of The Coffee Shoppe. The event will be live-streamed on Rep. Sewell’s official social media pages to acknowledge the hard work, innovation, and dedication of small businesses and their significant contributions to the economy.
