Shopping Small in Upper Merion Township

As the holiday season is fast approaching, we hope that you and your family will choose to shop “hyperlocal” this year by patronizing the many fantastic businesses in Upper Merion Township (UMT). This year has been especially challenging for small businesses. They have worked tirelessly to adapt their businesses to continue serving their employees and communities. Here in UMT and King of Prussia, we take care of one another. This holiday season, let’s take care of our local small businesses!

King of Prussia District, in partnership with the Upper Merion Township Economic & Community Development Committee (ECDC), is sponsoring a few initiatives to help recognize small business owners, promote their businesses and provide YOU even more opportunities to buy their amazing products or services.
