Shop Local and Save With CU Offers

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us, including many small businesses in our communities. Stay-at-home orders forced shoppers to transact online, thus thrusting the already established ecommerce giants into the spotlight. Small businesses suffered, sales decreased and many closed due to their inability to quickly respond to the online dependency of the consumer. As businesses in our communities strive to rebuild and reinvent themselves and their brands, here are FIVE reasons why you should SHOP LOCAL:

  • Money you spend locally goes directly to your community. Shopping locally is a personal investment in your community. For every $100 spent, approximately $68 of it returns directly to local activity*.
  • You create local jobs. Small businesses employ MORE people directly per dollar of revenue, and, small businesses represent the largest provider of jobs in the US.
    You help the environment. Buying locally conserves resources! Less fuel for transportation and less packaging results in a benefit to our environment.
  • You are investing in entrepreneurship. The American economy is founded upon creativity, ingenuity, and hard work! Nurturing small business fosters these values and enables a prosperous and thriving community.
  • You are putting tax dollars to good use! In addition to generating more tax revenue, small business taxes are more widely used to support schools, parks and local programs directly in your community.
