    Why support independents?

    When you shop at an independently-owned business, your entire community benefits:

    • Spend $100 at a local and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43.
    • Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.
    • More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.
    • Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
    • Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.
    • Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
    • Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
    • More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.
