Why you should shop local this holiday season.

As we approach the holiday season, we want to remind you to SHOP LOCAL!

You might be asking yourself, why should I shop local? There are many reasons why you should, these are our 2 favs: improving your local economy and supporting locally owned businesses. Both of these reasons have their own impact on society as a whole and deserve to be explored further.

So, let’s get started!

Improve the local economy

Shopping local benefits the community as a whole. When you spend your money at a local store, it helps to keep jobs in your community and keep your hard earned $$ recirculating right here in Amarillo!

When you purchase items online or at large chain stores, you are sending those paychecks to other states or countries never to be seen again. Shopping local is the secret sauce to a thriving local economy.

Supporting locally owned businesses

Around here, we believe in entrepreneurship and all things locally owned! These business owners are your friends and neighbors that know first-hand what a great place Amarillo truly is! These are the people who are sponsoring your kid’s softball team, donating to your raffles & being involved in our community. Why wouldn’t we support them?

Let us know in the comments below a few of your favorite locally owned businesses!
