🚧 THE CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES AND SO DOES OUR SUPPORT FOR THE EAST SIDE 💛

Our East Side businesses are still OPEN, still serving our community, and still counting on us to show up.

And yes, the “Got a Button? Got Deals!” buttons are STILL AVAILABLE 🎉

🔘 Grab your button for just $5 at a participating business

💵 Take advantage of special deals at participating East Side businesses

🤝 Most importantly, help support the local businesses working through the challenges of construction

Detours, cones, and limited parking may make getting around look a little different right now, but our businesses are worth the extra effort.

Stop in for lunch. Grab dinner. Pick up groceries. Shop for something special. Schedule a service. Try a business you’ve never visited before. Every stop matters. Every purchase matters. Every time we choose local, we’re helping an East Side business keep moving forward.

Construction is temporary. Our commitment to our East Side community is bigger than that. 💛

🌟 WHAT A GREAT TURNOUT 🌟

The East Side showed up and showed out 🙌🏽❤️

What a beautiful Keep It Open E7th lunch Taqueria Los Paisanos 🌮

Business owners, neighbors, community members, and friends came together to enjoy good food, great conversation, and most importantly, support our East Side businesses.

Everyone purchased a Keep It Open button and received Construction Bucks to spend at another participating local East Side business. 💵🏪❤️

What a beautiful thing to see our community coming together and supporting one another. When we eat local, shop local, and support local, we help keep our East Side businesses strong.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and to Taqueria los paisanos for welcoming us and hosting our Lunch Bunch 💕🌮🤝

Look at these smiles 🥰🤗📸 This is what community supporting community looks like. ❤️

KEEP IT OPEN. KEEP IT LOCAL. KEEP SUPPORTING EAST SIDE 🙌🏽

🚧 CONSTRUCTION IS TEMPORARY BUT THE IMPACT ON OUR EAST SIDE BUSINESSES IS REAL. 🚧

The “Got a Button? Got Deals!” program has officially started! 🎉

🔘 Buy a button for $5 at a participating business
💵 Receive $5 in Construction Bucks while supplies last

I’m inviting all of our friends, family, and neighbors to make a special effort to support the businesses along the Eastside of Saint Paul.

Some businesses have lost access to their parking lots, and others may be a little harder to reach but they are STILL OPEN and need our support now more than ever.

Please don’t let the construction cones or detours keep you away. Stop in for a meal, pick up groceries, shop for a gift, or schedule a service. Every visit and every dollar make a difference.

Let’s show these hardworking business owners that the East Side takes care of its own. 💛
