Which three locally-owned, independent shops, restaurants or cafés would you miss if they were gone? Here's a very simple way to save them, one bit at a time, one person at a time. It doesn't take much, and it's not a question of buying things you don't need or can't afford. Pick your three, and visit. Today.
Too often I'm hearing laments from our customers about businesses leaving. We all feel so sad whenever another local shop or restaurant is forced to close (and at the same time, a big, boring chain announces plans to open?!). Small indie businesses are what keep our towns thriving and interesting and unique. Micro businesses don't get loans or bailouts... in fact, ha ha, even those who bank with local banks are seeing their small lines of credit cut off. We all – from little bakeries to bike shops, delis and florists, gift stores and restaurants – depend on loyal, local customers.
It's one tiny thing we can do to help jumpstart things. And it's fun.
