Shopping S hopping locally preserves our communities Nobody No obo body dyy likes likes ik kess lo losing shops and services in smaller towns & cities – but but they they don’t th don equate this to how they spend their money.

Local businesse businesses thrive if customers spend locally. So if you want a vibrant city ccentre where you can socialize & shop – shop locally!

Shopping locally retains our distinctiveness Local businesses help create distinctive shopping experiences and often carry different products. This helps to keep traditional local products alive, thus contributing to a town or city’s special unique qualities.

Shopping locally saves the environment Local businesses, which often stock a higher percentage of locally sourced goods and products, often do not require long car or bus rides to get to, helping to reduce our global footprint.

Shopping locally creates jobs Shops in small towns and cities help create local employment and self-employment. Local jobs foster economic innovation & prosperity. The success of locally owned, independent businesses provides real-life inspiration to our young people.

Local businesses invest more in our communities Local shops are proportionally more generous in their ssupport upp port orrt for local charities, schools and community events. ents. So su ssupporting upp porrting local shops means a financial return for our community. ommuniity ty.
