Why shop Indie?

When you shop at an independently-owned business, your entire community benefits:

The Economy
*Spend $100 at a local business and $68 of that stays in the community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and the community only sees $43.
*Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for you and for our neighbors. More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.

The Environment
*Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
*Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.

The Community
*Local retailers are your friends and neighbors--support them and they’ll support you.
*Local businesses donate to charities and events (especially local ones) at more than twice the rate of national chains.

More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.
Now is the time to stand up and join your fellow individuals in the IndieBound mission supporting local businesses and celebrating your independents.
