Buy Local

Montgomery County, Pennsylvania has great small businesses. Supporting our local economy grows our local economy.





This post is first in a series of "Buy Local Montco." Today we are listing some locally owned and operated restaurants. Our next post will focus on locally owned and operated retailers in Montgomery County, followed by service companies. We welcome your suggestions for all categories.

Restaurants


We have some of the most amazing restaurants in this county. It is curious that small, farm to table restaurants struggle to survive, while if you drive by the mall on any given night, you'll see an hour long wait to get into a chain restaurant serving salty, mass produced foods. If we, as a community, support our local restaurants and food establishments, we will encourage more great chefs to open restaurants in our county. With so many people who complain about the lack of local restaurants, it would stand to reason that our citizens would want to encourage the growth of this local industry in each community. Next time you eat out, please think of our local restaurants.

Here are some local restaurants worth visiting. Please leave names of your favorites in the comments section and we'll add them to our list.
