Think Local When Shopping

Please consider the following when deciding where to shop -
Shop Local / Think Local

Our Lake Country community is defined in part by the businesses that thrive here. Your local business owners are concerned about the ongoing economic crisis and our ability to survive it. We ask that you please take a minute to think about the enormous power of your consumer dollar.

You Have a Choice Where To Spend Your Money
You are investing in your community by supporting the businesses that exist here. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of our community. Where we shop, where we eat and hang out- all of it makes this our home. This is what brought many of us here and what keeps us here.

Put Your Money Where Your House Is
When you shop local, three times the revenue remains in your community, supporting parks, schools and more! For every $100 spent at a locally owned business, $45 goes back into the community and our tax base.

Get Better Service
Local businesses often hire people who have a better understanding of the products they're selling, and take more time to get to know their customers.

Live Local/Give Local
Independent businesses are the largest contributors to local charities. Non-profit organizations receive an average of 250% more support from local businesses owners than they do form non-locally owned businesses.

Our Future is Now
By standing by and supporting independent businesses today, you are investing in a unique and sustainable future for our community. Small business owners are people who live locally and are more invested in our future. Local businesses are also the largest employer nationally and they provide the most new jobs to residents. If you have a favorite store, restaurant or service provider, we urge you to think about continuing your support to the best of your abilities.
