Did you know that for every dollar spent at a local business, about .67 cents stays in the community?

When you buy from a small business, your money tends to stay in the local community and directly benefits the families who run the business. It also boosts the local economy. So, if you like having small businesses near you, be a customer and patron.

Consider shopping local this holiday season and throughout the year – it really does make a difference!
