Business Guide

Welcome! In the midst of a public health and economic crisis, buying local has never been more important. Portland’s small, local businesses are the very soul of our beloved city – and many of them, owned or run by Black, People of Color, Women, LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, could use your business. The AMA PDX Board curated a list of our favorite local makers and retailers. We think you’ll love them too.

Let’s support our community, together!

It takes extra effort to uncover the best local gems ensuring your dollars are staying in the community – so we decided to do most of the detective work for you. Committed to our values of diversity, equity and inclusion and DEI Pledge, we hope this special guide helps you discover a delicious new take-out option, a gift for a special friend, a new wellness practice, or fresh ideas for a date night – there’s sure to be something for everyone.

This is a living guide we plan to keep available indefinitely. We hope to continue to add specials and maybe even some members-only discounts as the year continues. Bookmark the guide and keep checking back for updates!
