Did you know?
- Small Businesses employ over half of all U.S. workers.
Small Businesses account for 75% of all new jobs in this country.
- Local Businesses reinvest in the local economy 60% more than chain stores.
- For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays in our community.
- If every family in the U.S. spent an extra $10 a month with a locally-owned, independent business instead of a national chain, over $9.3 billion would be directly returned to local economies. That means better schools, better roads, more support for police, fire and rescue departments and stronger local economies.
