CELEBRATING SMALL BUSINESS!
Women entrepreneurs continue to shape the American economy, creating businesses, jobs and opportunities in communities across the country. Here on the Coast, we received dozens of nominations for our annual Best Women-Owned Small Business Contest. This year’s winners reflect the creativity, determination and community spirit that make South Mississippi’s small-business scene so special. From builders and real estate professionals to restaurateurs, creatives and service providers, these women are showing what’s possible when passion meets purpose. The votes are in! Meet GCW’s Best Women-Owned Small Businesses 2026.
