Today is Small Business Saturday and we focus, once again, on buying local. We do this to support our neighbors, community, and local economy. Buying from a locally-owned business contributes to the overall health of our community. Locally handcrafted products provide unique gifts and support local creatives. Buying local reduces the carbon footprint associated with transport and packaging. It creates local jobs, preserves local traditions, and reinforces cultural heritage. Local businesses are the backbone of our schools, non-profits, roads, public safety systems, parks, and more.
So today, as you are thinking about what to get your favorite architect, think about these favorite local small business shops owned by our neighbors and friends.
