American Operator
See America’s small businesses the way they were meant to be seen — up close, on the ground, and through the eyes of the people who run them. American Operator documents the real stories of Main Street:
• We visit small businesses across the country.
• We highlight operators keeping their towns alive.
• We show what ownership actually looks like.
• And we expose the hidden cost of private equity roll-ups hollowing out local communities.
From family-owned shops to essential service businesses, from thriving main streets to towns devastated by outside ownership, we’re capturing the reality of American small business at a turning point.
Our mission is simple: keep America locally owned & operated by shining a light on the businesses, operators, and communities worth fighting for.
