Support Your Local Mom & Pop Shops: Make A Difference in Your Community

In the age of online shopping and big-box retailers, it’s easy to overlook the small, independent businesses that form the backbone of our communities. These Mom & Pop Shops not only provide unique products and personalized service, but they also contribute significantly to the local economy. Here’s how supporting these businesses can make a difference in your community.

Boost Local Economy: When you shop at local businesses, more of your money stays within the community. According to a study by the American Independent Business Alliance, locally-owned businesses return three times more money per dollar of sales to the community than chain stores.
Create Jobs: Small businesses are the largest employers nationally. By supporting them, you’re helping to create and maintain jobs in your community.
Unique Products & Services: Mom & Pop Shops often offer unique, locally made products that you won’t find at a national retailer. They can also provide personalized service that goes above and beyond.
Build Community: Local businesses foster a sense of community by hosting events, sponsoring local sports teams, and contributing to local charities.
Preserve Local Character: Mom & Pop Shops help preserve your community’s unique character and charm, making it a more interesting place to live and visit.
