THINK LOCAL
FIRST
WHY BUY LOCALLY OWNED
The message is simple and couldn’t be more
clear. As consumers, we make a difference
when we support local food, our local farmers
and businesses like the Rum Shops.
Ensure that you spread the message in your
community that you support local!
When You Support Local:
1. You Invest in Entrepreneurship
Creativity and entrepreneurship are what our
economy is founded upon. Nurturing local
business ensures a strong community.
2. You Nurture your Community
We know you, and you know us. Studies have
shown that local businesses donate to
community causes more than twice the rate of
chains.
3. You Create Local Jobs
Local businesses are better at creating higher
paying jobs for our neighbours.
You wouldn’t want your house to look like
everyone else’s, So why would you want your
community to look that way?
These are just some reasons why supporting
local is more important now than ever!
Become an Official Community Supporter!
Buy local and urge your lawmakers to protect
our local business \˂
