City Of Irving: Shop Local This Summer, Support Irving Small Businesses

Press release from the City of Irving:

June 9, 2021

Irving is home to a wide array of small businesses, from food establishments that sell homemade tacos and home-cooked dinners to vintage store fronts and local shops. Supporting local businesses not only helps maintain a healthy, thriving economy, but also reinvests sales tax dollars back into the community.

Why Shop Local?

Small businesses make up 80% of Irving’s business community. Supporting Irving small businesses fosters community connections, helps establish local jobs and supports the economy. For every $1 spent at an Irving small business, 67 cents stays in the local economy, according to a national average. 

Dine

Irving’s restaurant options reflect the city’s diverse population. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy home cooking at a 1950s soda fountain on Main Street or a newly opened vegan restaurant. Diners can taste world cuisine across the city, from Nepalese and Latin food to Mediterranean-style meals. 

The Irving Convention and Visitors Bureau has an updated online list of restaurants and dining options, such as dine-in, open patio and curbside availability. View the list at IrvingTexas.com.

Visitors also can learn more about Irving food by following the Visit Irving Blog at IrvingTexas.com/Blog.

Shop

Whether looking for vintage goodies, summer flower arrangements or gifts, residents can shop at a local business for almost any need.

Last month, the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce announced its 2021 Best in Irving Award winners. Residents voted for their favorite businesses in 42 categories, including Best Florist, Best Jeweler and Best Spa.
