The Importance of Shopping Local: A Win-Win for You and the Entrepreneur

It is a common complaint: “So many shops are disappearing from the center.” But what can we as consumers do about it? The answer is simple: by shopping locally. In this blog we explain why shopping locally is so important and how you can make entrepreneurs happy by supporting their stores.

Local Shopping: More than just a Purchase
When you shop locally, you make much more than just a purchase. You contribute to a lively and diverse range of shops in your neighborhood. Local shops add character to the street scene and make your shopping area a unique place where you like to go. Moreover, you support the dreams and ambitions of local entrepreneurs, who often run their business with heart and soul.

A helping hand for the local economy
Every euro you spend in a local store largely stays within the community. Local entrepreneurs spend their income back in their own environment: they do their shopping at the bakery around the corner, hire local service companies and invest in local projects. This creates a snowball effect that benefits the entire local economy.
