Where Small Business Matters

Choose Local and Small Y’all (CLASY) is an alliance of independently owned businesses and nonprofits across North Carolina.

We connect local businesses to a growing audience that already believes in choosing small — and we show up to help them get seen, supported, and chosen.

This isn’t a passive membership.
It’s an active network built for owners who are doing things differently and want to be part of something bigger.

A community that shows up.

This Isn’t Small—And It’s Growing Fast

This isn’t theory. It’s already happening.

140+ CLASY partners across North Carolina
12,000+ engaged followers choosing small
Real events. Real visibility. Real connection.

You Either Feel This—Or You Don’t

CLASY isn’t for everyone.

But if you’re building something independently
and you’re ready to be part of something that actually moves…

Choose Local and Small Y'all has been a game changer for small businesses. Thanks to their efforts, we have not only survived COVID as a business but also increased our visibility. When I joined CLASY, we had no idea that we would become a part of something so much bigger than us.
