What we do, and why subscribe…

We tell you what store is moving into the building next door. If there is no building next door, we’ll tell you what’s planned and then who’s moving in.

If somebody sells their shop, opens in a new location, hires a new VP, you’ll find that here.

Want to rent your summer home or start a cab company? Thinking of opening a marijuana café or putting café tables on your sidewalk? Learn about government regulations here.

Was the building nearby razed? Are the neighbors angry? Find out why, with us.

No fluff. No opinion. No clickbait. All local.

We tell you what happened yesterday or earlier today.

We don’t bog you down with national news that you already saw, or offer our take of today’s news (and we certainly don’t tell you what we did on vacation).

We are focused on local news offered daily. That’s why we’re fast and we’re first.

Free and paid subscriptions support locally-owned, independent journalism and give you the news of the day.

FoothillsBusinessDaily.com, our flagship publication, will remain FREE because of the support of paid subscribers.

Stay up-to-date — and ahead

Free and paid subscribers can stay up-to-date, too, because everything we post through Substack — twice-daily emails, members-only posts, member chats — can be found at: FoothillsBusinessDaily.substack.com.

Paid subscribers get more: We will offer premium posts and updates that will keep you ahead of the game.

Free subscribers still get our popular afternoon email, “Deadline COB,” an email round-up of our news on the flagship website.
