The 350 Project

What three independently owned local businesses would you miss if they disappeared? Stop in. Say hello. Pick up something that brings a smile. Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around.

If half the employed population spent $50.00 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.*

For every $100 spent in locally owned, independent stores, $68.00 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures.

So, pick 3, spend $50 and save your local economy. It only takes 1 person to start the trend.
