Acknowledging Small Businesses

Category: Culture & Traditions

Author: Billy House-Henry, Executive Director

At The Fremont Senior Living, we love small businesses. And honestly, if we’re being real, most large businesses started out as a small business at some point. Even Arrow Senior Living, our management company, began as a small business called Turn-Around Solutions. The original vision was simple: step into a community for 6–12 months, get everything running smoothly, and then move on to the next. The rest of that story is for another time, but it’s a powerful reminder of how something small can grow into something incredible. So, when we say we LOVE small businesses, we truly mean it. Behind every small business is someone’s dream, someone’s risk, and someone’s hard work. That’s something we’re passionate about supporting.

Showing Up for Small Businesses

This Small Business Day, our teams hit the streets in a big way through Creative Follow-Ups and support. Each department head selected a local business to support. Collectively, as a company, we showed up for over 350 small businesses. Even saying that out loud feels incredible! What may seem like a small act can make a big impact.

Our teams didn’t just stop in. They intentionally supported each business by making a purchase or leaving a gift, writing a Google review, and sharing their experience on social media. It was a simple but meaningful way to give back to the communities that support us every day.

Supporting local businesses remains a personal priority because they strengthen neighborhood connections. They create opportunities for neighbors to gather, interact, and build relationships. This contributes to a more connected and welcoming environment.

Local Businesses That Bring People Together

The team at The Fremont Senior Living recognized Bounce Mania, a local business that provides a fun and engaging place for children and families to come together. Its presence supports community interaction and adds value to the neighborhood.

Throughout the year, the team works to build relationships with local businesses. They stay connected, share information about the community, and create opportunities for mutual support. These efforts strengthen local partnerships and reinforce Fremont’s connection to the surrounding neighborhood.

Supporting small businesses isn’t just something we do one day a year. It’s part of how we show up in the greater community every day. These businesses are the heart of our neighborhoods. Building those relationships creates a deeper sense of connection for our residents, our teams, and the people we serve.

As you read through the highlights from our community, I hope you feel the same excitement and pride we do. When we support local, we’re not just making a purchase. We’re investing in people, in dreams, and in the place we call home.
