When you support BE LOCAL CONCORD, by shopping & dining locally, you invest in your community, in your neighbors and ultimately, in yourself!
60 For every $100 spent with an independently owned business, $60 is retained and circulated in the community. Spend it with a chain store and just $20 stays here. Spend it with a big box retailer and only $6 stays here. Spend it online and nothing remains here.
75 Small business provides approximately 75% of the new new jobs added to the economy. Local stores employ your neighbors, pay taxes that support your schools and improve your roads, and contribute to local non-profit groups.
10 Join BE LOCAL CONCORD, and for a $10 yearly membership fee receive a reusable shopping tote and special benefits from participating merchants.
