Shop Local For Black Friday

by thebrandchef on November 23, 2011

Ready for the busy holiday seasonBlack Friday is an exciting day for shoppers and retail shops, alike – patrons get amazing deals and vendors can get their business back in the “black” for the year.  But don’t forget about Small Business Saturday!  How much do you think about where you shop?  Did you know that by shopping local, each of your dollars gets circulated in your community EIGHT times vs. only three with the big box stores?  That benefits your friends and neighbors instead of the fat cat corporate bigwigs.

Here at Boesen, we feel strongly about this issue, as we are a locally owned and operated business, trying to better our community.  Here is Tom Boesen talking about why it’s important to shop local and what benefits can be reaped from that simple choice.
