Kirkwood Businesses Turn to Social Media During Snow Storm

Local businesses are using today's snow storm to connect with readers and their use of social media is testament to the kind of engaged and personal community we have here in Kirkwood.

From HotPot Smoothie Shop:

• Well the snow is coming down... Good thing I made some super delicious chicken and dumplins. I would love to share a bowl with you.. Let the kids go sledding... Have a snow bowl fight... Then come on by the HotPot for a warm up of hot chocolate and soup! - Chef Boss

From Kirkwood Station Brewing Co.:

• Our plan is to be open right now, so save that bread and milk for later and come by for beer and a sandwich for lunch!...The beloved Kirkwood brewery adds that there are plenty of people within walking distance. The post received this fun comment:
• I know...was just teasing...thus the LOL! I would LOVE to be at Kirkwood Station Brewing Co for a sandwich AND a beer! 

And the weather doesn't mean that businesses that have closed shop aren't having a good time with customers and helping them out along the way. 

From Fun in the Sun Sports & Leisure:

• While you are snowed in... take some time to support the small shops and restaurants and service providers that you love by voting for them in the St Louis Magazine A-List Reader's Choice poll. Please "write in" Fun in the Sun in whatever categories you believe we deserve. Thank you so much! To Vote, go to http://bit.ly/ZrqywE

Likewise, from East + West:

• We'll be closed today due to the weather. Please be safe! ... In the meantime, voting ends today for @stlmag A-List. If you feel we're deserving for Best Men's Store, vote here!http://t.co/Jd5ZBS6lyZ

From finders keepers with helpful information for customers:

• WE ARE CLOSING AT NOON TODAY, DUE TO THE INCLEMENT WEATHER. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL IN BEFORE NOON IF YOU NEED TO PICK UP SOMETHING TODAY AND WE WILL TRY TO ACCOMMODATE YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

And lastly, 9 Months in Style informs fans of its closing with a fun photo. See photo accompanying article. 

Stay safe, stay warm and let's hear it for our small business owners.
