Vote for the Best Hidden Gem Business in the UP
The Upper Peninsula is full of incredible small businesses that most people never hear about. We want to find them and shine a light on them. Tell us who deserves the spotlight.
Help Us Discover the UP’s Best Kept Secrets
Michigan Small Business Spotlight publishes daily features on locally owned businesses across all five regions of Michigan. The Upper Peninsula has some of the most unique, passionate, and hardworking small business owners anywhere in the state, and most of them never get the recognition they deserve.
That is where you come in. Tell us about a business in the UP that you personally love and that you think more people should know about. It could be a restaurant, a shop, a service provider, a maker, a farm stand, a guide service, or anything in between. If it is locally owned and it means something to you, we want to hear about it.
The business that receives the most votes will be featured in an upcoming Michigan Small Business Spotlight across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and our newsletter, reaching more than 5,000 Michigan residents.
