Local Love

Let's have a little real talk. It would have been way faster and far less expensive for us to open up Bløm in not-downtown-Ann Arbor. In fact, that might have been a very wise idea. BUT. We aren't kidding when we say we love local and wanted to be surrounded by other small business owners. That isn't just a phrase we throw around. Our joy, our connection to our place, our resilience -- they're all so much greater when we live in a place with shops and businesses and markets and restaurants and bars that are owned by local folks.

So we'll be damned if we're gonna let any of 'em go without a fight. These are still tough times for small business owners - heck, for all humans. The toughest, in some ways. So head on over to our Instagram, tag one of your fave spots, and we'll give them some love in our stories! We want to make it through this pandemic, but it's just as important that all of our neighbors, friends and local haunts to make it through with us.
