OpenInMaryland.com is a community resource website designed to help customers find local, small and mid-size businesses that are remaining open. We provide useful information to those businesses and present a catalog, to the citizens of Maryland, of small and medium-size businesses that are currently open for business and doing all they can to stay open.
We know the challenges of the “COVID-19, Economic Crisis, and Social and Political Stress trifecta” is far from over. We have created this project and made our team available to help in some small way. Be sure to check out the blog for useful tips.
OpenInMaryland.com is our first directory of businesses that are being verified as open and operating, in some form. We are adding and verifying businesses as quickly as we can and adding notes in their description. We are working through a list of recommendation, then cities and counties. We could really use your help, too.
If you own a business or know of a business that is open but isn’t in our directory, please tell the owner about this site and suggest they create a free listing for their business. We will quickly verify the information and make it available to all who visit this site.
Looking to really stand out from your competitors and connect with more local customers? DMV Thrives can help. Based in Rockville, Maryland, we specialize in creating high quality custom built websites and marketing channels that will help you to expand your customer reach and give your business a prominent, professional online presence.
We started the OPENIN Project to identify, support and celebrate the business owners who have been able to stay open or re-open during this COVID-19 Pandemic, the resulting Economic Crisis, and the Social and Political tensions gripping our country.
Once we get OpenInMaryland.com up and running smoothly, we will quickly launch OpenInVirginia.com and OpenInTheDistrict.com using the same approach. All three will be represented in the parent site DMVThriving.com once the pandemic is past and the focus shifts from surviving to thriving. We hope you join us and support our local businesses.
