Small Business Saturday. Today is the day where you can make a difference in a small business owners life by simply buying a product from them instead of a big box chain or franchise. The simple act of buying from a local shop or eating at a local restaurant actually has a great impact not only on that business, but the local economy as a whole.
On average, that dollar you spend locally, will be spent IN TOWN up to 7 times again, while the dollar you spend at Lowmart will be shipped out of state that day. Your local businesses are the backbone of the community.
These business owners support and in many cases put on the town events that the big money box stores will not take part in.
So today, while your out doing whatever it is you are doing, direct your route to a local, independently owned business, spend your money where it does some good for another member of your community.
Avoid the strip mall, warehouse, grumpy employees at those greedy big stores and come get some down home, feel good, THANKFULL products from us, your local business owners.
I can say first hand that after being on Main street for 13 years, when the door to shop opens, I am excited and so grateful for every sale we make. Your purchases here truly make an impact on me and my business and I appreciate every hard earned dollar spent here. I am sure all the shops on this street and every Main street feel the same.
Thanks guys for all the support!!! I hope to see you all soon!!!!
