Every time you choose to call an owner-operated business rather than a multi-location corporate chain store, you are siding with hard working local people who have put their names and their entire careers into creating a business that serves customers well, that keeps prices low, and that keeps money in your community. The owners of local businesses are more likely to be engaged in your community as parents, coaches, charitable contributors… and they certainly are paying a large share of the community’s taxes.
