Dollars locally spent make cents

Think globally, shop locallySpend your money wisely. Pennies from each purchase made with area merchants help this community maintain its diverse character, which, in turn draws more shoppers who enjoy our uniqueness.

Seems like a win-win especially when you consider: —> Shopping local creates jobs.
—> Independent stores give back by supporting neighborhood organizations and events.
—> Area shops sell an array of affordable, unique products and many recycled treasures.
5th Avenue Books—> Shopping in Hillcrest saves gas money.
—> Neighborhood retailers stock items that you won’t find at the mall.
—> Easy shopping. Walk or bike to community stores.

As a bonus, surveys show that folks receive better customer service from independently owned-businesses that survive by their reputation and repeat customers. Local stores are also great places to see your friends for a little neighborhood networking. Keep in mind, that these little stores don’t get bailouts like corporations. Unable to run at a loss, those without enough revenue, just disappear. Help keep that from happening, please shop locally…it makes sense.
