Shop Locally!

As the holiday season approaches, please support your local merchants. Now only do they offer more personalized service and unique products, but they keep more of your money in the local economy, studies have shown. About 60 cents of every dollar stays local - meaning it is spent on other local support services and suppliers, whereas corporate stores often send their money back to HQ for centralized services such as accounting, purchasing, and so on. Shop locally! In fact, mark your calendars for November 14 and check out the block on Mission from Fair Oaks to Mound Ave. for an open house and block party with some really great deals!
