At the PA Chamber, we deeply value the economic and cultural contributions of small businesses across the Commonwealth. They are the backbone of Pennsylvania’s economy – and the majority of our 12,000+ members!

In that spirit, we were proud to launch the inaugural 2025 Small Business of the Year Awards this year. The awards invited Pennsylvania small businesses to apply for the award that exemplifies the qualities that make these businesses, the people who work for them, and the communities where they’re located thrive. Dozens of businesses applied, and many demonstrated exceptional achievements in areas such as growth, innovation, entrepreneurship, and community engagement.

Today, we were thrilled to announce the winners and honorees – businesses from across industries and regions that are driving local economies and making Pennsylvania a great place to live, work, and do business!
