Posted by: Scott Elpers on Wednesday, August 19, 2026

Allen-Lee Screen Printing, Hexcode Marketing and Farha Roofing have been named the 2026 Small Businesses of the Year by the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The three winners were chosen from nine finalists based on business performance, community involvement, work culture and overall impact.

Now in its 22nd year, the Chamber’s Small Business Awards celebrates the innovation and impact of local small businesses while giving companies a platform to share their stories and be recognized for their contributions to the Wichita region.

“Small businesses are the foundation of a strong community,” said Brecken Morel, Interim President and CEO of the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce. “They create jobs, invest in people, support local causes and bring the ideas and energy that keep our region growing. These winners are great examples of the impact small businesses make every day, and we’re proud to recognize what they have built and what they contribute to Wichita.”

Small businesses make up more than 80 percent of the Chamber’s membership and play an important role in creating jobs, investing in people and strengthening the region. The Small Business Awards recognize that work while celebrating the passion, persistence and entrepreneurial spirit behind these companies.
