Happy Veterans Day to our national heroes, and a special salute to the 22,600 veterans who call the Tallahassee metro area home! These heroes are our neighbors, colleagues, parents, and community change-makers. They also act as agents of economic progress, with 7% of the metro area’s self-employed, sole proprietorship, and solo entrepreneur firms owned by veterans.
As we recognize the dedication and bravery of our local heroes on Veterans Day, it’s the perfect time to seek out their local businesses so you can say “thank you for your service” all year.

If you own or know of a veteran-owned business not included on the list, please contact info@oevforbusiness.org so it can be added and featured next year.
