Recently highlighted by Towne Post for her dedication to supporting local communities, our very own Mel McMahon is a leading advocate for Indiana businesses. As the founder of IndianaOwned.com, she’s helped grow over 150 local companies by encouraging consumers to shop locally and creating a platform for them to thrive.
During the pandemic, Mel expanded Indiana Owned into an online marketplace, making it easier for people to discover and support local products. Her passion for small business, inspired by her entrepreneurial mother, has driven her career in radio and TV, where she has always promoted local companies.
In 2022, Mel opened Indiana Gifts in Lebanon, featuring Indiana-made products. The store quickly became a popular stop for both locals and travelers, boosting the local economy. Mel’s work continues to make a lasting impact, and we’re proud to have her on our team, championing the importance of shopping local.
