As we close out our Small Business Month series, we’re featuring Magnolia & Main Books and owner Traci Morton, whose bookstore in Ridgeway has become a place centered around connection, community, and a shared love of reading.

Throughout the month of May, this series has highlighted the stories behind several small businesses across Henry County. Each business is different, but they all share something in common: they are built through hard work, sacrifice, and a commitment to serving the community around them.

Small businesses need support not just during Small Business Month, but all year long. Whether it’s shopping local, sharing their posts on social media, recommending them to others, or simply offering words of encouragement, every bit of support makes a difference.

We encourage everyone to continue supporting the small businesses that help make our communities stronger.
