Buy local! Shop local! Support local!
Following that mantra can no only lead you to better supporting your local entrepreneurial community, but you can also wind up finding some really cool products along the way. Columbus is filled with local makers and creators and our readers vote every year to highlight some of those great local products.
This year, the number one spot goes to the Glenn Avenue Soap Company. After experimenting with soap making at home back in 2009, the Glenn Avenue Soap Company gradually expanded into retail and wholesale over the next decade and can be found in many of your favorite local businesses as the handsoap of choice in bathrooms and kitchens. The business recently opened a second brick-and-mortar store at Easton Town Center, but can also be found for sale in multiple grocery stores and shops around Central Ohio.
