Join our initiative to support local business and remember that Local is a Choice.
According to the 350 Project - “For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.”
Your shopping choices matter!
We’ve all been there—the choice between two similar shopping experiences can sometimes seem predetermined based on who can offer the better deal. Disposable income is hard to come by these days as inflation rises and wages stagnate— we feel it, too. But even though it may look it, the choice isn’t that straightforward.
In exchange for a few extra dollars per purchase, you’ll receive so many benefits:
Money back in your local economy
Higher quality merchandise from your local shops and artisans
A personalized shopping/dining/customer service experience
Healthy businesses that care about your community and neighbors
Your choice to shop local is about more than the money saved or spent. Check out some local recommended spots below, and send us your favorites to include in the list!
Our Local Favorites
Bookshops
We know you love the feeling—there’s nothing like stepping into your local independent bookstore. Whether your favorite part is the atmosphere, the curated collection, the merchandise hand-picked for your community, or the booksellers that greet you when you walk in, our goal behind the counter is always to make you feel welcome, happy, and seen.
You made a choice to visit us, and we thank you for that from the bottom of our hearts.
Now, we want to remind you why that choice is so important.
From bookstores to restaurants to clothing, and everything in between, your local businesses are here for their communities. We live here, work here, eat here, and we’re invested in seeing our neighborhoods thrive. By choosing to shop local, you’re an essential part of making sure the neighborhood thrives.
