Why Shop Local?Get better service.In a local business, you know the person behind the counter, and they know you. They have a deep understanding of the products they sell and they take time to serve their customers.
Create and keep jobs.Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally, and small businesses are far less likely to pull up stakes and move operations to another city or country, taking their jobs with them.
Invest in your community groups.Nonprofits receive an average 350% more support from local business owners than they do from non-locally owned businesses.
Keep money in your neighborhood.Locally owned businesses recirculate 70% more money back into the local community than chain stores.
Help out the environment.Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases, requiring less transportation, and they generally set up shop in commercial corridors rather than developing on the fringe. This means less sprawl, congestion, habitat loss, and pollution.
Vote with your dollars.If each household redirected just $100 of planned holiday spending from chain stores to locally owned merchants, the local economic impact would be in the millions of dollars.
