Washington Business Updates

Photo credit: @farmersandcooks

The sense of community and caring over the past weeks has reminded us how lucky we are to call Washington home. Now more than ever, we have joined together to support one another! That includes our beloved local businesses, many of whom are working tirelessly to ensure we have the resources we need to stay safely at home. Let’s show them our support during this challenging time.

We are sharing the latest business updates with you here to make it easy and safe for you to shop local and take advantage of special services being offered. Another great way to help shops and restaurants right now is to purchase a gift certificate to enjoy in the future.

As circumstances may change, please call businesses or check their Instagram for the latest updates.
Stay well, Washington!

Businesses can submit their new information to info@explorewashingtonct.com or tag us on Instagram @explorewashingtonct.

Learn more about Gift it Forward Washington CT. This program was designed to make it easy for residents and visitors to support local merchants by creating a central hub for the purchase of gift certificates.
