WHY SUPPORT LOCAL?

• In an increasingly homogeneous world dominated by large corporations, it is a way to preserve smaller local businesses,
  which reflect the unique character and culture of a community.

​

• Unlike shopping at chain stores, shopping locally helps keep money in the local economy. A thriving local economy leads to increased tax revenue, which can be used to fund public services like schools and infrastructure.

​

• Environmental sustainability: Local businesses contribute less to urban sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution.

​

• A marketplace full of small businesses fosters competition, which helps drive innovation and keeps prices low.
