Shopping local keeps money within our community and helps preserve the culture and character that is unique to Richmond. For every $100 spent in locally owned stores, $68 returns to the communities through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend $100 in a national chain, only $43 returns to the community. Now, if that is spent online with a national chain nothing returns to our community. Imagine the impact we could have on the economy and welfare of Richmond if we did the majority of our shopping with Richmond’s locally owned businesses.
