National Small Business Week is coming to a close, and we're doubling up again today with two local business spotlights.

First, we want to recognize Tyler Mountain BBQ. Richard and Jackie are truly wonderful people who make outstanding food! Have you tried the banana pudding?? Wally is a banana pudding expert, and he declared it the best banana pudding he's ever tasted. Linda loves the fried catfish special, and we both love the Sunday buffet with so many great options. Earlier this year, we partnered with Tyler Mountain BBQ on a fun dinner-and-a-movie special for Valentine's Day, and it was so much fun.

Next up is Checotah Gun And Pawn. We've lost count of how many random things have been purchased there for use at the cinema. And we've certainly lost count of how many Blu-rays Wally has bought there, especially since they usually text him when they get in a new batch of Blu-rays and DVDs. They've advertised on-screen, sponsored kids combos, and sponsored a screening of It's a Wonderful Life last December.

We're still celebrating National Small Business Week, and today we want to highlight two of our local businesses on Broadway.

First up, Printy Please! We're not open every day at The Gentry, so most of our deliveries go straight to Printy Please, and then we pick them up on Fridays. Rodney and his team have also helped us with all sorts of printing projects β€” from the signage in our outdoor light boxes to the logos on the door to the business cards we hand out when people ask us about private screenings. Printy Please was also the first business to sponsors Kids Combos during free movie events, and now we have lots of other businesses doing the same.

Next up today is June's Restaurant. The day after we officially closed on the purchase of The Gentry, we had lunch at June's to celebrate. We split the first of many chicken fried steaks that day β€” it's so good, y'all. So good! Linda loves cheesecake, so of course we have to grab a slice to go from the dessert case sometimes. Kathy was super welcoming to us as new business owners and offered to help in any way she could. When we showed Fried Green Tomatoes last year, they added a fried green tomatoes special to the menu that weekend, which was both fun and delicious.

It's movie day!! Who's coming to see us for The Sheep Detectives or The Devil Wears Prada 2??

Today's National Small Business Week spotlight is The Perk!

Wally is not a perky person (or even a functional person) without caffeine, so we love having a local coffee shop in easy walking distance. Wally's coffee order never changes β€” black coffee in a very large cup. Linda's coffee order is always decaf, but she mixes it up between hot and iced, lattes and Americanos, and flavored and not flavored.

Jamie and her team at The Perk are always so welcoming and helpful, and we love getting to chat with them while grabbing our morning coffee. And sometimes our afternoon coffee, too. Most of the money from our tip jar at the cinema goes straight to The Perk for coffee. We love keeping it local! The Perk has also generously provided hot cocoa bars during several of our holiday special events, and they added a private movie screening to their annual Halloween party last year, which was so fun!

What's your go-to order at The Perk?

We’re continuing our local spotlights during National Small Business Week. Today, we’re featuring our awesome neighbors at Gambino's Pizza. Amanda and Jordan were some of the first people we met in Checotah a year and a half ago. They saw the activity happening when we were at the inspections phase of buying the place and came over to say hello.

We love being able to grab a quick to-go salad when we're short on time, but you can't beat the lunch buffet if you have time to eat there. Especially on Sundays! And, of course, Gambino's is an important part of our annual Casabunga weekend, when we sell pizza by the slice as a concession special when showing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They also accept our Coke delivery every week, since we’re not open when the Coke guy comes by.

Go get yourself some pizza, friends! Plus, tell us why you love Gambino's or tag another favorite small business in the comments.

It’s National Small Business Week, and we’re spotlighting a few of our favorites in Checotah! We would love for you to comment with your favorite local small businesses and give them a shout out on your own profile this week as well.

First up, one of our newest downtown businesses β€” Vault 18. They’re just down the street from us on the corner of Gentry and Main. It’s a great place to gather with family or friends to play something from their huge board game library or enjoy the mini arcade and video game room. You can also buy, sell, or trade your favorite trading card games or attend one of their gaming events.

While Wally has played plenty of video games, he's never done much with trading card games. He recently got his first Pokemon cards at Vault 18 and is working on building his deck.

Follow their page to get updates on all the fun stuff happening at Vault 18!
