The Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce hosted its 78th Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration on March 19, 2026, at The Loom Wedding & Event Venue. Sponsored by Truliant Federal Credit Union, the event honored several businesses and individuals for their leadership and community service. Among those awards, The Silos was honored as the 2026 Small Business of the Year, which honors an organization that embodies entrepreneurship, innovation, customer care, and a wholehearted commitment to community. It recognizes a business whose influence far exceeds its footprint. From the moment you arrive at The Silos, you can sense that it is more than just a business experience. With its unique character, welcoming atmosphere, and attention to detail. The Silos has created a place where people gather, celebrate, dine, and make memories together. It is a gathering place where people not only enjoy the experience, but they also enjoy great entertainment, wonderful food and beverages, while basking in some of the best customer service around. Small businesses like this are the heartbeat of a local economy. They bring personality to our downtown area, support local suppliers, create jobs, and offer a level of personal service that simply cannot be replicated by larger corporations. The Silos is a location where every guest is welcomed not as a transaction, but as a neighbor. Whether hosting community events, providing a beautiful venue for special occasions, or simply offering a friendly place to spend time, this location has become a go-to destination for residents and visitors alike. Their success reflects not only a strong business model, but also a genuine passion for people and for this community. Like many small businesses, The Silos has navigated challenges with resilience, creativity, and determination. Entrepreneurship requires risk, long hours, and an unwavering belief in a vision. The team behind The Silos has demonstrated all these qualities, continually adapting and growing while staying true to the values that make them special. Their willingness to invest in Easley, to build something distinctive and welcoming, enriches the quality of life for all of us. The award also celebrates the individuals behind this success: DJ and Stacey Derosiers. Small businesses are deeply personal endeavors, powered by owners, employees, and supporters who pour their energy into every detail. Because of their dedication, The Silos is not only a successful enterprise but also a place where community connections are formed and strengthened every day. Please join the Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce in expressing gratitude to DJ and Stacey Derosiers for their entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to Easley, and in honoring The Silos as the 2026 Small Business of the Year.
