Best Locally Owned Businesses in Kansas City - 2025 Launch

Welcome to The Local Business Playbook:

Best of Kansas City Edition



Kansas City is full of hidden gems, neighborhood favorites, and hard-working entrepreneurs who keep our local economy thriving. From mom-and-pop restaurants to creative service pros, these are the businesses that give our city its flavor, heart, and hustle.



That’s why we’re launching the "Best Locally Owned Businesses in Kansas City" blog series.

Each month, we’ll shine a spotlight on local business owners doing amazing work across the metro. We’ll share their stories, highlight what makes them special, and give them the recognition they deserve — all while helping customers discover new favorites right in their neighborhood.

🌟 Who Gets Featured?

We’re looking for stand-out businesses in every industry, including:

• Restaurants & Cafes
• Retail Shops & Boutiques
• Salons & Spas
• Dog Groomers
• Fitness & Wellness Studios
• Local Service Pros (HVAC, cleaning, detailing, etc.)

Whether they’ve been serving KC for 30 years or just opened last year, we want to hear about businesses that go above and beyond for their customers.

✉️ Know Someone Who Deserves to Be Featured?

We’re currently accepting nominations!

If you know a local business owner who deserves a spotlight, email us at:

bestofkc@infinitelooployalty.com

Let us know who they are, what they do, and why you love them. We'll take it from there.

👀 Coming Soon

Our first round of featured businesses will go live next month — so stay tuned! And if you're a business owner yourself, keep an eye out... we might be stopping by soon.

Until then, thank you for supporting KC's incredible small business community.
