Why Shop Local?
By shopping local you….
1. Help boost the local economy! For every $100 you spend at a local business, $68 stays in the community! Spend $100 at a chain and only $43 stays in the community.
2. You help create local jobs. Local businesses and merchants tend to create higher-paying jobs for your neighbors and teens.
3. You help keep our community unique! Who wants every town to look the same?
4. You are helping nurture the community. Studies have shown that local businesses donate to local causes twice the rate of chains.
5. You are creating more choices for the community. You help us pick items and products based on what we know you like and what our community needs.
6. You are taking advantage of our expertise! Where else can you find a t-shirt where someone can tell you who the artist is, how the art was created and the exact process on how that shirt was made from start to finish?
7. You help support entrepreneurs. Creativity and entrepreneurship is what America is all about! By supporting your local merchants you are supporting a strong community.
8. You made us a destination! The more diverse of an offering we have at our local businesses will help attract visitors and stimulate our local economy.
-Thank you all for your support. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost two years…
-Thank you to all of my talented artists, designers, musicians, family, and friends that have participated along the way.
