Small business week kicks off Sunday, and Downtown Lansing shop owners say support from neighbors makes a real difference, not just for their stores, but for the entire community.

Danielle Hastings owns Sylvia’s Sudsery, a self-care gift shop in downtown Lansing and one of more than 900,000 small businesses across Michigan, according to the Small Business Association of Michigan.

“We’re a self care gift shop. Basically focused on being able to take care of yourself,” Hastings said.

When asked what it means when a customer chooses to shop small instead of going to a big box store, Hastings didn’t hesitate.

“It tickles me pink,” Hastings said.
