Congratulations to Prairy on winning a Amex Shop Small Grant!

We are excited to announce the 2026 Kansas Main Street recipients of the Amex Shop Small Grants Program, thanks to American Express and Main Street America.

Amelias | City of Hutchinson - Government
Graves Drug Winfield | Winfield Area Chamber of Commerce
Prairy | Choose Newton
Seeds & Sawdust | Cherokee County Economic Development Corp
Turner Flowers & Country Store | Ottawa Main Street Association
Twigs Floral & Gifts, Inc. | Independence KS Main Street

“At Main Street America, we believe that supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses builds community wealth and a culture of innovation – yet, far too often, this vision isn’t realized due to a variety of factors, including lack of access to resources and funding,” said Erin Barnes, President and CEO, Main Street America. ​“This is why we are so proud to partner with American Express on a program that provides meaningful support to small business owners working to strengthen their livelihoods and their communities.”

“Small businesses play a vital role in our communities,” said Jennifer Skyler, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, American Express. ​“The Shop Small Grants Program builds on our longstanding commitment to small businesses, which began with Small Business Saturday, by putting meaningful investment behind the people and places that drive local impact.”

We’re especially proud that our Kansas Main Street businesses are part of this initiative, and to join a network of over 500 small businesses across the country — made possible by investments like this grant that empower small businesses to keep moving forward.
