FREDONIA, N.Y. — The Village of Fredonia will be in the spotlight as the new season of Small Business Revolution premieres on Tuesday on streaming services.
The Village will be holding a celebration and viewing party at the Vineyards Golf Course, which is one of the local businesses featured on the show this season. The public is welcome to attend. The golf course is providing golf carts so viewers can sit six feet apart from each other to watch the season 5 premiere.
Doors to the celebration open Tuesday at 5 p.m. and the show will begin at 5:30 p.m. Check out the trailer for the new season in the tweet below.
Along with Vineyards Golf Course, Nyce & Clean Auto Detailing, Fresh & Fancy Floral Design, Lena's Pizza, Literacy Volunteers of Chautauqua County, Om Nohm Bakery & Café, and The Hair Bar Salon will all be featured on the show this season.
Crews began filming just a week before the first round of COVID shutdowns in March, so audiences will see how hosts Amanda Brinkman and Ty Pennington virtually helped the business owners selected to navigate the challenges of the crisis.
"In many cases, they didn't just survive the crisis, they're truly thriving and that's always our goal, is to take these small businesses to the next level," Brinkman told 2 On Your Side.
"So few people started their business because they couldn't wait to do some of these fundamental things, like build out a website, or manage their social media, or figure out their finances. That's what we love about this program, is we're able to walk alongside these entrepreneurs. We never have to change or invent their passion or their skillset. We just help them with the resources that don't come naturally to a lot of entrepreneurs."
Small Business Revolution will be available to stream on Hulu and Amazon Prime and smallbusinessrevolution.org starting Tuesday morning.
