Nearly a third of the Mankato Population are members of the Greater Mankato - Support Local Businesses Page.
It was originally meant for local restaurants to reach out to the community during COVID.
Greater Mankato Growth’s Andy Wilke says it’s now serving a dual purpose, “Not just to celebrate businesses, but then also for community members to go out there and maybe becoming aware of a business that they didn’t even know existed.”
Businesses like Mankato Vintage Market use it as a tool to keep their passions alive.
