Shop Locally
Recent studies show that supporting locally owned businesses impacts our economy, environment and community:
The Economy
-
Spend $100 at a local business and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43.
-
Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.
-
More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.
-
Buying locally means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
-
Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.
-
Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
-
Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
-
More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.
