In every city and town, small businesses form the heart of the community—run by passionate owners and dedicated teams. Go Local FXBG is here to connect you with the best local businesses that meet your needs, support your values, and help our region thrive.
When we started Go Local FXBG, we set out to do more than just list businesses — we set out to build a movement. A movement rooted in collaboration, local pride, and economic empowerment. This directory is part of our mission to spotlight the people behind the storefronts, encourage conscious spending, and foster deeper community connections.
We’re not just promoting businesses — we’re telling their stories, sharing their impact, and giving you real reasons to shop local.
68% of every dollar spent at a locally owned business stays within the community.
Even local chains reinvest 43% of their revenue back into the local economy.
Shopping local helps create jobs, sustain families, and support community initiatives.
By choosing local businesses, you’re making a difference. Whether you're a resident, visitor, or entrepreneur, we invite you to explore and support the businesses that make the Fredericksburg region vibrant, resilient, and one-of-a-kind.
