Why Local First?
Last year Coloradoans spent $12.7 billion during the holidays, which represents a huge chunk of $ for retailers. And since money spent at locally owned businesses recirculates at least three times more in our community, where you spend your money really does matter. Every Bit Counts
A shift of just 10% of your purchases toward local retailers could translate to a $3 Billion dollar boost to our State's economy in just two months. This means more people are getting a paycheck, paying their rent, and getting what they need from other local businesses.
