Celebrate Your Independents! Think Local....
Celebrate "Independents Days" July 1-6 by thinking local first.
The Susquehanna Sustainable Business Network (SSBN), in partnership with the James Street Improvement District, and the Downtown Investment District is launching Lancaster's first Think Local First campaign.
Join local businesses throughout the City of Lancaster PAwill be holding special events and offering incentives during Independents Days, so be sure to go out and show your support!
According to information gathered by the SSBN, small local businesses are the largest employers nationwide, have less negative impact on the environment, give an average of 350% more support to community groups than national chains, and keep more money circulating in the local economy. For every dollar a customer spends in an independent business, 45-70 cents stays in the local economy and tax base. For every dollar spent in a chain, only 14 cents stays.
With well over 500 locally-owned service-related, unique retail and excellent restaurant businesses within Downtown alone, this week is the perfect opportunity to explore and support our own!
