Think, Shop, Buy Local - whenever possible

Think, Shop, Buy Local - whenever possible



• Shopping local creates jobs. Traders in our area create local employment.
• Local businesses are proportionally more generous in their support of local charities, schools, and community events. So supporting local shops means a financial contribution to our community.
• Local traders and providers have great products at affordable prices. Some people get out of the habit of "local" and can be surprised by the range of products/services available.
• Shopping locally saves you time and money. You travel less, saving on time and fuel.
• Local businesses value, respect and appreciate your patronage.
• We will all shop away occasionally, and that is fine, but we should Think Local First.
