Georgia Unveils 2025 ‘Small Business ROCK STARS’

The Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) today announced its five 2025 Small Business ROCK STARS as part of the state’s celebration of Georgia Small Business Week 2025, recognized May 4-10, 2025. Governor Brian P. Kemp, an entrepreneur and small businessman himself, issued a proclamation emphasizing the importance of small businesses across the state.

“Small businesses are the backbone of Georgia’s economy, providing jobs for their employees and vital goods and services for their communities,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “As the owners and operators of small businesses ourselves, First Lady Marty Kemp and I know how hard these job creators work to provide for their families and give back to their neighbors. Thank you to this year’s Small Business ROCK STARS and the thousands of small businesses creating jobs for hardworking Georgians in every corner of the state!”

The 2025 Small Business ROCK STARS are:
• American Dakota in Calhoun, Gordon County
• Evans Tool & Die in Conyers, Rockdale County
• Godfrey’s Feed in Madison, Morgan County
• Maule Air, Inc. in Moultrie, Colquitt County
• Woodpecker Trail Olive Farm in Glenville, Tattnall County

“Whether a company supports 10 jobs or 10,000 jobs in the state, every job creator contributes to Georgia’s unique industry mix,” said Commissioner Pat Wilson. “Small businesses are as diverse as the communities that they are part of, from carpet manufacturers in north Georgia to agribusinesses in the heart of our state. Thank you to the economic developers, small business resource centers, and many partners who support Georgia’s small business community.”

The Georgia Department of Economic Development, in partnership with the Georgia Economic Developers Association, established the Small Business ROCK STAR awards as a way to recognize and commend the innovations, community engagement, and positive impact of the state’s small businesses. This year’s winners have fewer than 300 full-time employees, are involved in charitable organizations in their communities, and were founded in the State of Georgia.
