KEEPING IT LOCAL:
When you buy locally, a percentage of those dollars remain in our community, as many local businesses utilize vendors and other businesses in the area. This contributes to the continued strength of the economy in our Lake West area by keeping our hard-earned dollars circulating in our own community.
BUILDING A STRONGER COMMUNITY:
Buying locally provides a greater investment both socially and economically. By shopping local, our community strengthens by increasing jobs and developing strong working relationships with other businesses in our Lake West area. The more a local business grows, the need for additional employees rises, and the demand for supplies increases leading to purchases from other local businesses that have the goods to fit their needs.
SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL FAMILIES:
Local businesses look to the community to fill their employment needs with people who are skilled in the area of expertise needed to keep their business growing. Shopping locally is a benefit to the business owners, their employees, and families as well.
UNIQUE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE:
Locally owned businesses are in tune with the needs and wants of the local consumer and sell products based on that knowledge. Therefore, local shops can offer unique, hard-to-find items that aren’t typically found in department retail chains, because they know their local market.
Small business owners start with a vision and a dream with the hopes of creating a successful business for years to come. When you patronize those local businesses, you are helping to make that vision a reality, and their dreams come true!
The Lake West Chamber of Commerce is proud to be available to provide support to both sides of the chain of operation. Businesses and consumers alike can gain a wealth of information by stopping by our office or visiting our website to see what our Lake West community has to offer.
Building a stronger economy and a better business community since 1987.
