Shop Local

6 ways to Support + Shop Small

1. Small businesses give back (more) to your community

Think about it, when you support a local business, you’re also supporting your town, city, and neighborhood. Business pay sales taxes to the city and county the business is located in. A good way to Support is to Shop your local farmers and craft markets! Local Market Dates

2. Small businesses make a major economic impact 
The more you shop small the better your community grows. More than half of the U.S.’s jobs since 1995 were created by our small businesses. And according to the SBA, since 1990, big businesses eliminated 4 million jobs, while small businesses added 8 million jobs. The more you shop at a local store, the more potential job opportunities you could help them provide.

3. Small businesses provide better customer service 
As a Small business owner, we strive to survive and one of the biggest advantages we have over large retailers is the ability to provide more personable, hands-on memorable customer service.

4. Small businesses provide greater access to product diversity  
As a small business owner, we have just as much access to vendors that big box businesses do. If we don't have something you're looking for then just email us we would love to bring in items you want, as long as it aliens with our mission and brand. Contact Us!

5. Small businesses create a sense of community 
You’re much more likely to get to know a small business owner in your neighborhood vs a big retail store. We're out in the wild streets meeting all of you!!

6. You’re going to feel good about shopping small
