Why Was Thinklocal Created?
For many reasons, but the main reason was for our desire to give local
businesses and the community something better.

If you get to know me and my team (as with most small businesses), we
don’t simply work for profits; rather we’re driven by our belief in greater
things. We know that people like good deals and we’ll bring them, but
we want THINKlocal to be more than that.
WE WANT TO HELP YOU LEARN ABOUT THE PEOPLE BEHIND
THE BUSINESSES IN YOUR COMMUNITY, WHAT DRIVES
THEM AND WHY THEY ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR
PRODUCTS AND SERVICE. To know that Craig left corporate
America 14 years ago to open his HVAC business out of his desire to
be a more present father and husband; that Melissa opened her flower
shop after years of working for others because she wanted to bring more
affordable floral arrangements to people in her community; that Tim is a
third generation carpenter whose family has been in this community for
the last 55 years. Stories such as these are behind every business - each
one unique and special.
OUR LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE OUR FRIENDS
AND NEIGHBORS AND AN OUTSTANDING GROUP OF
PEOPLE WHO ARE BEARING GREAT RISK TO PURSUE
GRAND DREAMS. We, at Dot Ten, providers of THINKlocal, offer
our support to them and want to encourage that you do as well. We
want to help you get to better know your doctor, mechanic, home repair
specialist, insurance agent, grocer. We all hear that local business is
critical to our local economy and although very true, that message alone
fails to give us enough reason to spend an extra dollar or go in rather
BEN PALMER: Owner / Operator
than the convenience of the drive thru. If not supported, our locally
owned and operated businesses will not stand against the buying and
marketing power of big business and we will all lose something special.
IT’S NOT A QUESTION OF SPENDING; IT’S A QUESTION OF
WHO YOU’RE SPENDING WITH. We just want you to know the
person you’re giving your hard earned money to and in return they’ll take
exceptional care of you.
We want people to have greater confidence in their purchases, to
know that there is greater purpose than simply a transaction, and
TO SPEND WITH SOMEONE WHOM YOU GENUINELY
WANT TO SUPPORT.
