Ankeny Alley in Downtown Portland

Join the Office of Small Business for the launch of Show Up for Small Business, an ongoing collaboration with Better Portland, PIE, Latino Founders, and Built Oregon.

The idea is simple: We pick the spot. You support the businesses. 

Every month, we’ll choose a different neighborhood or business district. Then, it's up to you to show up and do your part by shopping, grabbing a beverage, or dining at the small businesses in that area. No agenda. No speeches. Just all of us celebrating the amazing small businesses that make Portland unique.

This month, we’re starting with Ankeny Alley on Tuesday, April 29, starting at 5 pm. We will all meet at Dan & Louis Oyster Bar (208 SW Ankeny St). From there, we invite folks to wander and grab food, drinks, or goods from all the great businesses in the area like Kaizen Sushi, Angelina's Greek Gyros, Xin Ding Dumpling House, District Bar, Luna Bar,  Baes Fried Chicken, Solstice Bar, and Voodoo Doughnut.
