“When you shop locally you make an investment in your community. That is because local businesses are much more involved in the community both culturally and financially. Big corporations being run by a board of directors somewhere in another city have little motivation to become vested in the local community. Local business people are much more likely to be involved in local organizations and events, politics and are often property owners,”says Rebecca Wilcox, owner of Skin Bliss Medi Spa.
