On A Mission to Educate People On The Importance Of Being Loyal 2 Local
Why shop local?
Local businesses have a positive impact that ripples through our communities.
Our small business community:
Pay taxes to support infrastructure, fund our schools, fund our police and fire departments, and other government-funded agencies.
Offer the same products and sometimes the same brands many larger retailers carry as well as supporting local artists and artisans to offer one-of-a-kind products.
Provide a gathering place for friends and families for good food and drink, and live entertainment venues that support local musicians and performers.
Offer personalized service, attention, and expertise, giving you a pleasurable buying experience.
Donate to numerous fundraising efforts & events in our community.
Create a vibrant atmosphere that invites people to move to our community.
Did you know that for every $100 spent locally, $68 stays local?
When you shop local, your decision helps our local business economy thrive. That $68 cycles through the local economy 7 times before leaving.
But it isn’t all about the money - small business employs 9,600 people in our area - those are your family members, neighbors, and friends.
We encourage you to shop local whenever possible.
Remind your friends and neighbors you choose to be loyal to local first by setting a coffee or shopping date.
Tell your favorite businesses you appreciate their commitment to the Loyal 2 Local program.
Support the businesses in the community that support the organizations in the community.
Together we can make an impact and build a healthier, more connected community.
