Why Shop Local?
Shopping locally keeps money in our local economy. Dollars that are spent in locally-owned businesses can have up to three times the impact on the community as those spent outside our community. There is a strong multiplier effect within the community for every dollar spent locally, whether it is for retail goods or services.
DID YOU KNOW...
When you shop locally-owned businesses, your money is re-circulated over and over and creates up to 75% more tax revenue to our community and state.
Independent businesses raise the standard of living in your community because they take their profits and buy products and services from other local businesses, thus creating more and more tax revenues needed for the community to thrive.
Millions of dollars of tax revenue subsidies handed to chains by financially-starved local governments drain even more tax revenue from our community.
Independent businesses are unique enterprises that contribute to the character of our community by offering a more diverse selections of goods and services.
Independent businesses provide meaningful service with a personal touch. It matters to them that you are satisfied and will come back again.
