Shop Local, Shop Small
It’s that special time of year, and yet, there are a few reasons that make this year in particular difficult to celebrate.
2020 has been a year (that sometimes felt like a decade) many of us are ready to move past. However, for some businesses, this will be the end of the road.
Because of a worldwide pandemic, multiple shutdowns have taken place throughout the year, and some businesses have kept the doors closed since March. Especially during this time of year, a time where purchasing would normally be at its highest, our local small businesses need us.
Instead of spending your money with a large retailer, we challenge you all to shop local. An item, service, or gift card purchase (big or small) will go a long way for our our community. Let’s support small businesses this year and help them get through the final days of otherwise a very difficult year for all.
We’ve rounded up a few (of many) local businesses that we at Three29 are shopping at this year!
