It's Small Business Saturday!
Show your support by shopping at locally owned businesses in your neighborhood.
The vibrant South Broadway corridor offers so many wonderful, locally owned retail stores and restaurants. It's part of what makes our community unique, and shopping locally at small businesses contributes to both individual and community well-being.
Here are ten reasons to choose local businesses:
1. Community Support:
Local businesses are often owned and operated by members of your community. Supporting them helps strengthen the local economy and fosters a sense of community pride.
2. Environmental Impact:
Local businesses typically have a smaller carbon footprint compared to larger corporations. By reducing the need for long-distance transportation, you contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly community.

3. Unique Products:
Local businesses often offer unique and handcrafted products that you might not find in larger, more mainstream stores. This can lead to a more personalized and distinctive shopping experience.
4. Personalized Service:
Local businesses are often operated by the owners themselves, which can provide more personalized and attentive customer service. They are invested in their customers and are more likely to go the extra mile to meet individual needs.
5. Preservation of Local Character:
Supporting local businesses helps maintain the unique character of our vibrant community. It prevents the homogenization of the local retail landscape that can occur with the dominance of national chains.
6. Community Investment:
Local businesses are more likely to reinvest their earnings back into the community by shopping at other small businesses in the area and sponsoring local events and charities. This creates a positive cycle of community development.
