The Set Up

Small business owners are the same people that you see out in your local park, at your church, or maybe even as your next-door neighbor; they’re just trying to make a living like the rest of us.

Pledge Summary

WHAT — Shop at local stores
WHEN — At least 25% of the time you buy things
WHY — Your neighbors need your help

Three Reasons to Sign Up

Local businesses need your help to survive and thrive.

1

There are around 30.7 million small businesses in the US.

2

48% of all US employees work for small businesses.

Final Thoughts

Small businesses don’t need a lot, but they do need a little help from people like you and me to stay afloat. Join this pledge today and help us lend a local helping hand by doing what we already love to do — a little retail therapy.
