Discover Anoka, Minnesota

Discover Anoka is a merchant group dedicated to promoting businesses in the City of Anoka, Minnesota. Together, we work collaboratively to give our visitors a one-of-a-kind experience and help our community of small businesses succeed.

Here in Anoka we are blessed to have a genuine, historic downtown, not a manufactured “Main Street.” We’re real. We’re classic. However, the odds are stacked against small businesses. 4 out of 5 don’t make it past the critical 5-year mark…

Did you know: “For every $100 spent in locally-owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.” (The 3/50 Project).

If you want to ensure that your favorite restaurants, boutiques, and mom-and-pop shops in Downtown Anoka are here to stay, consider shopping small and visiting us whenever you can.
