The West Bank is home to almost 200 businesses, over 90% of which are still small, locally owned – including one of the last locally owned and independently operated pharmacies!

We connected with Ross West Bank Pharmacy, hoping to highlight their unique location amidst a sea of corporate chains. They are truly a community hub: connected to a Minute Clinic for fast and affordable urgent care services, they also provide the West Bank with notary services!

We highlighted Ross West Pharmacy with a series of ads in The Wake student magazine, and featured the business on our blog and social media, which gave them an added marketing boost to a slow season. This was entirely free for Ross West Bank Pharmacy, paid for through the City of Minneapolis Business Technical Assistance Program.

Building strong, vibrant businesses on the West Bank!

“When you buy from a small business you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home. You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey…” 

West Bank Business Association’s small business services program is made possible thanks to generous support of WBBA members, the City of Minneapolis Great Streets Business District Support and Business Technical Assistance programs, the McKnight Foundation, Minneapolis Foundation, and Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation.
