Kehoe announces Buy Missouri Week, Oct. 12-19

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe announced the annual statewide Buy Missouri Week will be held Oct. 12-19.

As designated by the Missouri Legislature, Buy Missouri Week encourages citizens to purchase Missouri-made products in support of Missouri businesses and manufacturers.

“Buy Missouri Week is a great time to showcase the many incredible products made in our state. When we buy Missouri, we are creating jobs, investing in entrepreneurship, and keeping our hard-earned dollars in the local economy,” Kehoe said. “My small business background has allowed me to better understand the importance of supporting small and local businesses. Claudia and I have enjoyed meeting many Buy Missouri members from across the state, hearing their stories, and learning more about the products they manufacture.”

The Buy Missouri economic development initiative was pioneered by Governor Mike Parson in 2017 during his time as lieutenant governor. In 2018, Senate Bill 891, establishing Buy Missouri Week, was signed into law after being sponsored by then-senator Kehoe.
