Local Economies!
 
Several recent economic studies have concluded that local
independent businesses reinvest far more money in their
local economies than chain stores do.
 
One such study* concluded that for every $100 spent in their
stores, LOCAL BUSINESSES GIVE BACK $68 to their local
economy, while for every $100 spent in national CHAIN
STORES TAKE AWAY $57 from that same local economy.

Sometimes seemingly small acts can make a big impact.
Take family spending. You may think you’re just fulfilling your family’s wants or needs when you shop or dine out. Think again.
The choice of where you spend your money makes a big difference to your community. Spending your money with locally-owned independent businesses puts your money to work directly helping your community’s economy—just one way your community benefits from its home town businesses. Those businesses use goods and services of other locally-owned independent businesses--re-circulating your money about three-and-a-half times longer locally than if you spend it at a chain*. This creates greater community health and prosperity.
