Supporting Local Business: Why It Matters

Local businesses are the heart and soul of our communities. They create jobs, contribute to the local economy, and give our neighborhoods their unique character.

Economic Impact

When you shop local, more of your money stays in the community. Studies show that for every $100 spent at a local business, $68 remains in the community, compared to just $43 when spent at a chain.

Community Character

Local businesses reflect the personality and values of a community. They're often started by entrepreneurs who live in the area and understand local needs and preferences.
