Save your local economy...

three stores at a time.

Think about which three independently owned businesses
you’d miss most if they were gone.

Stop in and say hello. Pick up a little something that will make someone smile.Your contribution is what keeps those businesses around.

If just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each month in independently owned businesses, their purchases would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.*

Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that.

For every $100 spent in independently owned stores,$68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures.

If you spend that in a national chain,only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

The number of people it takes to start the trend....YOU.
