Why It’s Important to Shop Local 

Our local businesses are owned and operated by your neighbors.  They care about, and are invested in, the future of our community and it’s our job to support them in return.  Here are some more reasons why it’s important to support local businesses:

  • Local businesses are more likely to utilize other local businesses such as banks, service providers, and farms. 
  • Independent retailers return more than three times as much money per dollar of sales to the community than chain competitors. Independent restaurants return more than two times as much money per dollar of sales than national restaurant chains. 
  • Local businesses are more accountable to their local communities and donate more money to non-profits. 
  • Supporting local businesses is good for the environment because they often have a smaller carbon footprint than larger companies.
