Save your local economy 3 stores at a time
3 Think about which three independently owned stores you’d miss most if they were gone. Stop in, say hello and pick a little something up. That’s how they stay around.
50 If just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each month in independently owned stores, their purchases would generate $42,629,700,000 in revenue,*
68 For every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. In a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.
1 The number of people it takes to start the trend… you.
