Small Town Indiana Shops Owned by Women
Indiana’s small towns are more than just postcard-worthy main streets and welcoming communities—they’re also home to inspiring women who’ve built thriving small businesses from the ground up.
From cozy boutiques and bakeries to handmade goods and vintage stores, these women-owned shops bring heart, creativity, and hustle to Indiana’s local economy.
Supporting women-owned businesses not only uplifts communities, but also helps close the gender gap in entrepreneurship.
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, women own approximately 42% of all businesses in the U.S., yet they often receive less funding and exposure than their male counterparts. That’s why it’s so important to shop small, shop local, and shop woman-owned.
Here are some standout women-owned shops across Indiana’s small towns that are worth the road trip.
