Shopping Small is Always in Style

The Delaware Small Business Chamber Wants You To Think Small

By Leslie Hudson, Wilmington-New Castle Macaroni KID and Dover Co-Publisher September 6, 2024

At Macaroni KID, our mission is two-fold; help busy parents find the right resources to educate, entertain, and engage their family members while showcasing local, family-focused small businesses. 

As entrepreneurs, our publishers are constant cheerleaders for fellow small business owners. We’re not the only ones. We are proud Delaware Small Business Chamber members, and they love small businesses as much as we do! 


The Delaware Small Business Chamber is an independent chamber of commerce supporting local small businesses in Delaware and the surrounding areas. 

Chamber members– businesses with 0-100 employees and larger companies– economically support our local community. According to the DE Division of Small Business, Delaware is home to 27,111 small businesses, which accounts for 98% of all businesses in the state and employs 56% of the workforce. 

The DSBC offers programs and opportunities for small business owners to meet and work with their peers to help start, build, and maintain a business.


As a digital marketer, entrepreneur, and event planner, I understand the delicate dance between relying on digital trends and platforms to stand out while holding onto in-person connections. With 70+ free member events a year, it’s easy to find an event as unique as the business owner. 

Get a taste of what it is like to be a chamber member at their signature event -  DSBC Fun Fest and Delaware Taco Cook-off! 


Say hello to Macaroni KID at the chamber’s signature event! It will be filled with family fun, local vendors and nonprofits, games, obstacle courses, live entertainment, crafts, tacos, Kid’s Zone, and more! Free admission.

Remember, shopping small is good for us all.
