In April 2020, COVID-19 brought much of Arizona’s economy to a screeching halt. All businesses not deemed “essential” were ordered closed by Arizona’s governor Doug Ducey.

  The lockdown continued for nearly two months. When Gov. Ducey finally gave the go ahead to reopen, businesses slowly began the road to recovery. Even those listed as “essential” had a challenge with this economic recovery.

  Many small businesses and non-profits in Arizona didn’t survive the lockdown. The businesses that did survive are hanging on as best they can. Copper Area News wanted to give something back to the local business community as a thank you for supporting us through these troubled times. Our newspapers (Copper Basin News, Superior Sun and San Manuel Miner) have been featuring local businesses and non-profits since the beginning of 2021, encouraging our readers to Shop at Home, stay local and support our local businesses. To date, Copper Area News has featured 104 businesses and groups in the Copper Corridor.

  It is hard enough making it as a small business in a small town during normal times. But to balance those difficulties during a pandemic adds an entirely different twist to things.

  Businesses like Titan Power Sports and Rentals found themselves in a unique position during the pandemic. These businesses encouraged social distancing and provided families with a means to get out of the house and away from other people.

  Titan Power Sports and Rentals is called a ‘Certified Adventure Outfitter’. Adventure outfitters are places that will rent/sell vehicles known as utility terrain vehicles (UTV) as well as clothes and snacks for hikes and the like. Oracle is the perfect place for one of these due to the proximity to Mt. Lemmon.

  Owner Sarah Conway invites everyone to find their own adventure.

  “Get your adventure on in the latest 2022 Polaris Machines,” she said. “We offer two discounts per week! Check out our website at www.TitanPowerRentals.com.”

  Titan Power Sports and Rentals is located at 760 E. American Ave. in Oracle. They are open Tuesday to Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Book your next adventure by calling (855) 736-8494.

  “Shop local by supporting a small business in Oracle,” Sarah added.
