Eight Reasons to Shop Locally
(with thanks to the owners of Broadway Books)
When you shop at your local neighborhood stores,
- You keep dollars in the local economy. For every $100 you spend at one of our local businesses, about $68 stays in the community, rather than going to a national chain or online store. Because of this, your money is reinvested in your community.
- You create local jobs. Local businesses are better at creating rewarding jobs for neighbors.
- You nurture community and embrace what makes each of us unique. We know you, and you know us. Studies have shown that local businesses donate to community causes more than twice the rate of chains.
- You help the environment. Buying from a local business conserves energy and resources in the form of less fuel for transportation, less packaging, and products that you know are safe and well-made, because we stand behind them.
- You create more choice. We select the merchandise we sell based on what we know you like and want. Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because we buy for our own individual market and are quicker to respond to local demand and interest. You also support local creatives and producers when you shop at local, independent stores.
- You invest in entrepreneurship. Creativity and entrepreneurship are what the American economy is founded upon. Nurturing local businesses ensures a strong local community.
- You take advantage of our expertise. You are our friends and neighbors, and we have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you. We’re passionate about what we do. Why not take advantage of it?
- You make us a destination. The more interesting and unique we are as a community, the more we will attract new neighbors, visitors, and investments. This benefits everyone!
