Supporting Local: Why Shopping Small Matters
Learn why choosing local businesses over big chains makes a real difference in our community.
When you shop at a local business, you're not just making a purchase—you're investing in your community. Here's why it matters:
Economic Impact
For every $100 spent at a local business, approximately $68 stays in the local economy, compared to only $43 when spent at a chain store.
Community Character
Local businesses give Bergen County its unique character and charm. They're owned by your neighbors who live in the community and care about its future.
Better Service
Local business owners know their customers by name and provide personalized service that big chains simply can't match.
This Small Business Saturday, make a commitment to shop local and support the businesses that make Bergen County special.
