Small Business Owners across the Grand Strand
Small Business Owners across the Grand Strand
Local businesses are the backbone of the Grand Strand community. They fuel our economy, create jobs, and bring unique character to our region. That makes you a BIG Deal! That’s why we launched the BIG Deal Contest—an initiative designed to let local businesses know they’re seen, valued, and truly integral to our area’s success.
This contest is more than just recognition—it’s our way of celebrating the hard work, creativity, and resilience of the businesses that keep our community thriving. By highlighting and uplifting these businesses, we not only increase their visibility but also foster a sense of pride and connection within the community.
New in 2026!
PGS has teamed up with First Citizens Bank and My Horry News to bring the BIG Deal Contest back and it's BIGGER than ever!
Nominate your favorite local small business. Each quarter, one business will win a feature story in My Horry News!
