Supporting Local Means Supporting People Who Keep Showing Up
Brooks Burgers has been part of the Naples community for decades, providing meals for countless schools, children’s events, families, and local organizations. Over the years, they’ve operated locations throughout our community! From Downtown Naples and Vanderbilt to Logan Landings on Immokalee Road, Freedom Square, and Hibiscus Golf Course.
What many people don’t see is what it takes for a locally owned business to keep going as Southwest Florida changes. Todd Brooks has endured relocations, lease challenges, redevelopment, and landlords selling properties as larger corporations and outside investment continue moving into Florida.
Small businesses don’t have unlimited corporate money behind them. They survive because their owners keep fighting, adapting, employing local people, supporting local causes, and serving their community.
I can’t give Todd Brooks enough credit for continuing to persevere through it all. He has consistently supported local families and children, and when circumstances outside his control have hurt his business, he has found a way to keep moving forward.
This is exactly why supporting local businesses matters. When you support Brooks Burgers, you’re supporting someone who has spent years supporting Naples.
