SMALL BUSINESS

At Purrs McBarkin’, I’m not just running a business—I’m living my passion for pets, people, and this amazing town. Hartsville is my home. It’s where I live, work, dine, and grow. Supporting small businesses like mine isn’t just about keeping doors open—it’s about strengthening the community we all love.

When you shop small, you’re investing in your neighbors, your town, and a way of life that prioritizes connection, care, and character. Every dollar spent at a small business creates ripples that benefit Hartsville in countless ways.

Every time you choose to shop small, you’re contributing to the very foundation of our community. Here’s how your support makes a difference:

• We Add Character and Charm: Small businesses are what make Hartsville unique. We’re the reason our town feels special and full of life, offering care and connection that big corporations can’t replicate.
• We Support Local Jobs: Small businesses hire local workers, creating opportunities for families and keeping our community strong.
• We Rely on Local Tradespeople: From electricians and plumbers to contractors and handymen, small businesses like mine depend on Hartsville’s skilled professionals to keep things running smoothly.
• We Pay Local Taxes: These taxes go toward schools, emergency services, road repairs, and parks, ensuring Hartsville remains a safe and beautiful place to live.
• We Invest in Local Services: Small businesses work with local accountants, insurance agents, and other professionals, creating even more jobs and opportunities for our neighbors.
• We Give Back: From sponsoring events to supporting local charities, small businesses are often the first to step up for the community.
• We Build Relationships: At small businesses, you’re not just a transaction—you’re a neighbor, a friend, and someone we care about.
• We Keep the Economy Moving: Every dollar spent at a small business circulates throughout the community, creating benefits for everyone.
• We Preserve Hartsville’s Identity: Small businesses are the heart of what makes Hartsville, Hartsville. Without us, our town would lose its personality and charm.

When you shop at Purrs McBarkin’, your dollar doesn’t just stop at the register—it creates a ripple effect across our town.

• It supports the plumber who fixes my pipes, who then takes their kids to a Hartsville soccer game.
• It pays the electrician who keeps my lights on, who then has dinner at one of our local restaurants.
• It funds the accountant who helps me manage my business, who shops at local stores for their family.
• It helps me contribute to the community, from sponsoring events to supporting the causes that matter most to Hartsville.

Your choice to shop small has an impact far beyond what you see—it touches lives, builds connections, and strengthens our entire town.

Every time we choose convenience over community—by clicking “Add to Cart” or shopping at a chain store—we send resources away from Hartsville. That money doesn’t come back to fix our roads, fund our schools, or support the services that make our town strong.

Big corporations don’t care about our town the way we do. They don’t invest in Hartsville’s future, support its people, or preserve its character. When you shop small, you ensure that your money stays right here, building a brighter future for all of us.

Running Purrs McBarkin’ isn’t just a job—it’s my passion. I love helping pet owners find the best supplies and solutions for their furry family members. I love being part of your lives and seeing the joy your pets bring to your families.

This business is my way of giving back to the town that has given me so much. Hartsville isn’t just where I work—it’s where I live, grow, and connect. Every time you choose to shop small, you remind me why I do this and why it matters so deeply.

1. Shop Small First
Before turning to an online retailer or chain store, consider what Hartsville’s small businesses have to offer. You’ll find personalized service, care, and connection that can’t be matched elsewhere.

2. Spread the Word
Share your favorite small businesses with friends and family. Leave a review, post about them on social media, and encourage others to support them.

3. Be Loyal and Patient
Small businesses don’t have the resources of large corporations, but we have heart and dedication. Your loyalty means the world to us, and your patience during challenges helps us keep going.

4. Stay Engaged
Ask questions, provide feedback, and let small business owners know how they can better serve you. Together, we can grow and strengthen our community.

Hartsville isn’t just a town—it’s a family. Every time you choose to shop small, you’re helping to preserve the charm, connection, and care that make this place so special.

Thank you for trusting Purrs McBarkin’ with your pets. Thank you for choosing to invest in Hartsville’s future. Together, we can keep our community thriving—one small business at a time.

With gratitude,
