About DC Thrive

DC Thrive is a community resource website that showcases some of the best businesses in Washington, DC. Think of it as your personal online guide to the best local businesses in DC!  With a vibrant year-round business community led by a diverse set of owners and managers, you are sure to find a local business listed on DC Thrive to meet your needs.

When DC Thrive began, we sought to encompass the “Shop Local” movement with something more – a collection of some of the best known (and not so known) businesses in DC that have been vetted by people who have been local for at least 10 years. We’ve highlighted the best hotels, restaurants, bars, gyms, nonprofits, tours, spas, home services, shopping, events and more in Washington, DC.

Our name represents more than just a list of businesses. DC Thrive is a call to action for businesses, residents, organizations, and tourists to support our local economy and community. When you shop at a local independently owned business, 68% of every dollar gets reinvested in the community.

Help us celebrate DC’s community and culture by shopping at locally owned businesses.

For DC business owners, make sure to ADD YOUR BUSINESS to our local business directory (it’s FREE!). We also offer the chance to upgrade to a premium listing that will get your business front and center on the homepage plus added extras that are outlined on the pricing page.
