Keep Money in the Community: When you shop locally, approximately 68% of your money stays within the community, compared to only 43% when shopping at national chains. This means more funds are reinvested in local businesses, creating jobs and stimulating the local economy.
Job Creation and Community Development: Local businesses create jobs, which in turn contribute to a stronger tax base, supporting local programs and services, such as schools, parks, and roads.
Boosting Real Estate Values: A thriving local business community can increase property values, making your neighborhood a more desirable place to live and invest.
