Support Local Economies

For every $100 you spend at a local indie business, $52 will stay in the community.

Invest in Entrepreneurship

Creativity and entrepreneurship are what the American economy is founded upon. Nurturing local business ensures a strong community

Embrace Enthusiasm and Expertise

Local retailers are your friends and neighbors. They have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you, and they’re absolutely passionate about what they do. Take advantage of it.

Foster Uniqueness

You wouldn’t want your house to look like everyone else’s. Why would you want your community to look that way? More diversity in your community enhances its appeal.

Conserve Tax Dollars

Buying local means less infrastructure and more money to beautify your community. Buying local instead of online ensures that sales taxes are reinvested where they belong: in your community.

Create Local Jobs

Local businesses are better at creating higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.

Create More Choice

Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for their own market: the people in their community. They know you and know what you like and want.

Reduce Environmental Impact

Buying from a local business conserves energy and resources (less fuel for transportation and less packaging) and you know the products are safe and well made because your local retailers stand behind them.

Make Our Community a Destination

The more interesting and unique a community, the more it will attract new neighbors, visitors, and guests. This benefits everyone.

Nurture Community

Besides the pleasure of knowing your local retailers, studies have shown that local businesses donate to community causes at more than twice the rate of chains.
