WHY LOCAL?

 

Did you know that local business is proven to generate 70 percent more local economic activity per square foot than large retailers?

We are here to increase that figure for you.

 
 

We believe in positive impact and supporting small and local businesses is great for a range of social, economic, cultural, and environmental reasons. 

The most obvious point is that most of your customers are local - so we can help you grow that base.  Locals shopping means that more dollars are sent back into the local community which aids the local economy while cutting waste and fuel consumption. 

Supporting local business also builds culture and vibrancy in the community, encouraging diversity. This in turn attracts more interesting businesses and taps into the trend of the growing Maker Movement. Gotta love that.
