Special to the Opelika Observer

The COVID-19 outbreak has effected all parts of our community, especially impacting our small businesses.

As part of our goal to promote a strong and prosperous downtown, Opelika Main Street has launched a Keep Opelika On Track t-shirt to help assist our downtown merchants during this time.

The shirts, made locally by Victory Designs, are $20 each with $12 going directly to Opelika Main Street’s downtown member restaurants, entertainment venues and retail shops.

“This is a great way for us to get much needed dollars into the hands of our small businesses,” said Opelika Main Street Executive Director Ken Ward. “We hope this will be a way for the Opelika and Lee County community to show their support for our great local businesses during this unprecedented time.”

The shirts feature the Lee County Courthouse, a downtown Opelika landmark and historic site. Shirts can be purchased online at opelikamainstreet.org and will be available for pickup or
delivery.
