The Best Gift You Can Give
BY KAREN GOVEIA editor@valleyvibenews.com
Consumers are shopping more thoughtfully and recognizing that local businesses create character within the community, adding to the diversity of products and services available to area residents.
And when we choose to shop locally, money spent is more likely to be kept in the community, as locally-owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses and service providers.
The U.S. Small Business Administration estimates that for every $100 spent at a small business, $48 stays in the community. The same money spent at a big-box store or national retailer, only $14 stays.
Anthem Area Chamber of Commerce Director Tamara Clark told Valley
Vibe the Anthem and surrounding area has an abundance of small, locally owned businesses, and in the Chamber alone about a quarter of its 230 members are home-based businesses.
“Shopping locally keeps the money here in our community which is what keeps our nonprofits afloat and our youth programs up and running. So when you want to shop Amazon or Etsy for a unique trinket or idea, ask someone, because odds are, there is someone closer than you think who does it out of a small room in their house,” Clark said.
The area is also ripe with service-based businesses. “You need to start construction on a house and aren’t sure who to call for the numerous jobs that might
entail, you could throw a rock and hit a company here in town that offers the services and labor you are looking for,” Clark added.
That in mind, this holiday season offers an opportunity to continue to help the North Valley community grow and thrive, enriching residents’ lives by supporting local businesses when shopping for more personalized and unique gifts, as well as experiences and services needed for the home.
DECEMBER 2022 | 17 SHOP LOCAL |
More than 77 percent of consumers believe it’s more important than ever to support small businesses this holiday season, according to a report from American Express released in October.

Retail Therapy AZ
4250 W Anthem Way Suite 105
Anthem, AZ 85086 (480) 616-8570, www.retailtherapyaz.com
A new boutique for local business owners to market their handcrafted products in a storefront location opened in the Outlets at Anthem, just in time for the holiday shopping season.
Erica Jerido and Jacque Thomas opened their first storefront location six months ago in Glendale and that shop features items for sale from 76 artisans from around the state, including health and beauty products, candles, custom woodwork pieces and other gifts.
Just a week after signing their lease for a second location in the Outlets at Anthem, Jerido said 40 vendors had already signed on to have their goods for sale in the store, located near Calvin Klein, and there’s plenty of space for additional vendors to join.
The concept is simple: local businesses rent out a section or a display to host their merchandise, but unlike a farmer’s market, they are not present to sell their goods. They are allowed to provide signage and marketing info about their business so that customers may contact them directly for custom-made pieces, etc.
“It’s the perfect platform for those who can’t afford to open up a store for themselves,” Thomas said.
As former vendors selling merchandise and clothing themselves, the pair quickly realized they enjoyed the connections with other vendors and that their passion lay more in the realm of hosting events and markets.

As of this writing, here is a list of the vendors that have agreed to lease space, with more vendors coming soon.

PBA’s mission is to work together to increase each other’s businesses and to give back to the community that has helped our businesses grow. PBA is a business-networking group founded in 2002 by area business leaders.
We also believe in giving back to our community by way of community service projects and fundraisers for local charities. Our focus in these activities is to help the area children and schools.
Since its inception, the PBA has a growing membership. We provide a referral base to each other and, in turn, to our customers by being able to direct them to other high-quality area merchants and service providers whom we can personally recommend.
