There was heightened excitement last Saturday as the \u2018Small Business Pull-up\u2019 ventured into the constituency of St. John\u2019s Rural South. UPP Candidate for the Constituency, Gladys Potter, led a large convoy of supporters through Ottos, Golden Grove and Nut Grove to patronize 30 small businesses operators on the itinerary. This initiative is part of the United Progressive Party\u2019s (UPP) drive to support small businesses.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe received a warm welcome from the small business owners and it was a pleasure to showcase my community to our supporters. As proprietor of a small business, I understand the struggles that many small businesses face. Every purchase helps us provide wages for our workers, keep the lights on and put food on the table for our families,\u201d said Gladys Potter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The UPP team capitalized on the opportunity to share the Party\u2019s plans and policies for the growth and development of small businesses and the community, with patrons and owners of small establishments.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe UPP recognizes the importance of small businesses to the fabric of the community. This high-energy expedition also allowed patrons to fully experience the diversity and unique culture of this proud community,\u201d said Harold Lovell, Political Leader of the UPP.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This week\u2019s activation of the \u201cSmall Business Pull-Up\u201d was the largest and most vibrant since the initiative launched four weeks ago. The tour highlighted some of the best eateries, bars, legendary shops and spanish-owned businesses in the constituency.<\/div>\n
