St. Pete Greenhouse Celebrates National Small Business Week with Events, Resources, and More

St. Petersburg, FL (April 26, 2024) - From April 28 to May 4, the City of St. Petersburg and St. Pete Greenhouse will be celebrating National Small Business Week with events, resources, and more to help local businesses start, grow, and thrive in St. Pete.

During National Small Business Week, The Greenhouse will host an open house for business owners to network with one another and engage experts in questions they may have about the center’s resources and assistance with their own business. Other weekly activities include speaker-hosted workshops, a food truck rally, and multiple pop-up displays throughout the city that will provide details on the array of services The Greenhouse offers.

“We are excited to offer curated options for capacity building and networking to support small businesses at every stage of development during Small Business Week," said Tracey Smith, The Greenhouse's Small Business Liaison Manager. "The doors of The Greenhouse swing open for our first annual and signature Greenhouse Open House to provide a new opportunity for intentional engagement for all to celebrate entrepreneurship in St. Pete while connecting business owners to valuable resources and each other. Our talented team of Greenhouse Navigators will be on hand, as well as a line-up of our community’s key business resources. We look forward to reconnecting with existing businesses and meeting new entrepreneurs as the week progresses to the Food Truck Friday Finale!”
