Small Business Saturday

THIS SATURDAY, NOV. 30TH!
We are proud to support our community! When you shop at local small businesses, you help our community grow. Together, let's help strengthen our community by continuing to support the Shop Small initiative all year.

What you spend with a local small business will ultimately go back to supporting our community. According to the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses drive the U.S. economy by providing jobs for over half of the nation's private workforce.

See you Downtown on Small Business Saturday

Check out SpotMojo

Spotmojo is a place where you can ask for the businesses you want. Is there a business, a restaurant or maybe cafe that you wish was located downtown? Or maybe a good lunch spot or place to get drinks?

Spotmojo connects the community with businesses, and businesses with spaces. With the community's feedback it helps businesses know where they're needed and where they can be successful.

Spotmojo gives you a voice in the businesses that open in your neighborhood. You can suggest and vote for the things you want. You no longer have to wait and just hope the empty space down the street is filled with something useful for you.

Spotmojo is good for the community and the environment

Maybe the shops and restaurants you like do exist, but they're a good drive away in another city. By getting them closer to you, you save gas and the environment. By doing more dining and shopping locally you benefit the city you live in.

It all starts with YOU suggesting the things you want in your neighborhood. You can suggest restaurants, shops, other businesses you want where you live, work, or wherever you find yourself regularly.

Visit the Shell Museum

Open Tuesdays & Thursdays
10am-2pm
Pacheco Blvd. at Arreba

After two years of luncheons, bus trips, and holiday excursions, the Shell Martinez Complex Alumni turned their attention to the assembling of artifacts for a museum.  Shell Oil Company provided the building and financing for the initial stages of the remodeling. Alumni members and their spouses donated their time and expertise from carpentry, to plumbing, to gardening, to computer programming, and spent hundreds of hours outfitting the museum.    All pictures and objects are identified and catalogued and the information stored in a computer. The museum is staffed by Alumni members who also conduct tours. The museum was dedicated and opened for visitors September 22, 1990 and is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. More...
