MI Clare County is a grassroots collaboration of local, reputable small business owners who are committed to strengthening commerce within our community. This group operates independently of local chambers and is not affiliated with any political or nonprofit organizations. Our goal is to create an honest, tight knit network where business owners can thrive through trust, transparency, and mutual support.

When you shop at a locally owned business, approximately 68% of your money stays in the community. This percentage is higher than when shopping at large chains or online retailers. The money spent at these local businesses helps create jobs, supports public services, and fosters a healthy, sustainable community.
