What happens when you choose to shop local?
1. Buying from locally owned businesses rather than chain stores keeps your money circulating 3 times longer in the local economy.
2. With that money, local businesses create the majority of new jobs.
3. Local businesses are, by far, the best supporters of community projects and non-profits.
4. Because they live here, local businesses provide the best customer service and support.
5. Most of all, supporting local business and products preserves OUR unique town, not just cookie-cutter Anyplace, USA.
