About Us
Welcome to the Hastings Business Connection
We’re a community-powered network of local businesses who believe in the strength of connection, collaboration, and supporting our hometown. At the heart of everything we do is a simple goal: to help Hastings thrive by uplifting the businesses that make our community so special.
When you shop, dine, and explore with HBC member businesses, you’re not just supporting a storefront — you’re supporting your neighbors, friends, and the unique spirit that makes Hastings feel like home. We’re proud to fuel events you love (like Summerfest and Jingle & Mingle), highlight amazing local shops and restaurants, and bring people together through good old-fashioned community pride.
