The Gainesville Business Directory
This directory lists real, verifiable businesses in Gainesville: the restaurants and cafés around the square, the grocery and pharmacy counters, the kids rooms, the downtown shops, and the local services. Every entry is verified by name, address, and phone; nothing is invented, anticipated, or rumored.
Entries are plain editorial on purpose: no links out, no rankings, no ads. If something here is wrong, or a real local business is missing, the suggestion box is the contact page: the guide would rather be corrected than carry a wrong address.
