It's a way to celebrate the Motor City, putting a national spotlight on small businesses here. 

ABC's Tory Johnson brought her segment Deals & Steals to Detroit to show what small businesses here in Motown are doing.

"They've had to re-create jobs, they've had to find their own way. They know that nobody is coming to rescue any of us, it's up to us and so when you know that internally and you apply the hustle to make great things happen, we at GMA want to shine a spotlight on that," said Tory. 

This morning, Tory was making all of us smile.

"We love Detroit because there is a robust small business community of people here who have the perfect combination of heart and hustle," said Tory. 

Detroit hustles harder and so do the small businesses Johnson chose for her segment. Two of which we've highlighted in our JoAnne Purtan's Mom's A Genius reports. 

Two of the companies, Spbang and Sticky Bellies were featured in JoAnne Purtan's Mom's a Genius reports in 2014.

Companies highlighted on GMA: Superfly Kids, Spbang, Original Stix, and Dave's Sweet Tooth. 

Twitter only deal for Sticky Bellies
