According to the US small Business administration there are nearly 30 million small businesses in the United States. Of those 30 million, two thirds will survive 2 years, half will survive 5 years, and only one third will survive 10 years. In the economic situation we are currently in, we don't have this data yet, but times are challenging.
I'm sure you can relate to having a dream of something bigger than you are. Imagine your ULTIMATE dream having a "statistical expiration" of 2 years.
Local businesses change our community from being the same as every other big community to being unique, individual, and show the soul of the community.
Supporting them not only creates new jobs, but encourages a dream and a promise that our community is unique and worth supporting. Supporting local is a great way to resist too.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing local businesses work together to help elevate each other and seeing a community share the love of shopping small, recommending small, for everything from food to hair to retail.
If you want cool, unique, and fun things in your city, support local businesses as much as possible. Support local even when you travel. I can’t convince you how important it is, you have to believe it.
♥️✌️ Buy local everywhere.
