Indiana Originals is a promoter of independent businesses. We help Hoosiers and visitors discover and support local faster and easier while helping our business members find affordable resources to be successful, stand out from their national competitors, and get in front of new customers.

During this unsettling time, we want to help spread the word about changes in businesses and how Hoosiers can support one another. Protocols are changing by the day and sometimes by the hour. We will keep this post updated as often as possible.

Leading local living,

Mel and the Indiana Originals Team
