    Why Should You Shop Small?

    For small business owners, their business is not just a business — it’s an extension of who they are. Supporting the local businesses within your community not only keeps those businesses alive, but keeps the communities they serve thriving, as well.

    This year, shop at your local bakery, restaurant, coffee shop, boutique or neighborhood store rather than shopping at a national chain. Shopping local matters because it affects the entire community. When more money is spent at local stores, more money stays within the community. For every dollar spent at a small business, 67 cents stays within your local economy. In addition to helping schools and other organizations through taxes, small businesses are also often the organizations that support local sports teams, charities and events. Plus, local retailers are more likely to hire locally than retail chains.
