If you’ve been a long-time subscriber to our daily newsletter, then you know Fort Worth has no shortage of small businesses. Fort Worthians, in fact, are so good at supporting local that WalletHub named Cowtown as the No. 11 best city in the US to start a business last year.

In honor of our many movers and shakers, we’re asking readers to nominate small businesses they love so we can share them with the whole audience. BTW — Business owners can nominate themselves.

We’ll be here to share a new batch of small businesses every month, so bookmark this page because you’ll want to come back for more, especially if you’ve enjoyed our Small Business Week coverage in the past.

Benbrook Tea & Wellness | Food + Beverage
“We have organic loose leaf teas, Italian coffee, and gluten-free treats. My Wellness Room hosts virtual classes and special events, such as a yoga workshop and chakra cleansing.” — Owner Karen Henderson

  • This happy little shop is located on Winscott Road just south of I-20, and Karen is the sweetest. I tried the “Happy Place” tea, which Karen said never disappoints. Pick one up for a friend the next time you drive by. Also, make sure you check out the gorgeous mural inside. You’ll have to visit in person to see it.

Psst — If you’d like to see a small business included in FTWtoday, make sure to submit it here.
