Top Five Reasons to Shop Local
There is more to it than just being fun

Community Well-Being
Locally owned businesses build strong neighborhoods by sustaining communities, linking neighbors and by contributing more to local causes.
Keeping Dollars in the Local Economy
Your dollars spent locally have three times the impact on your community as dollars spent outside the county. When shopping locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more city services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvement and promote community development. Remember we have a mall and unique shops right here in Licking County with plenty of free parking!
Protect our Local Character
By choosing to support locally owned businesses, you help maintain Licking County’s diversity and distinctive flavor and keep our downtown communities healthy.
Local Decision Making
Local ownership means that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impact of those decisions.
Job and Wages
Locally owned businesses create more jobs locally. More people working, means more money in the community to be spent!
