Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to shower loved ones, friends and gal-entines with love, but it’s also a great opportunity to support local businesses.
According to American Express’ Shop Small movement, “Every time you pick up a coffee at your local café, grab lunch at the mom-and-pop shop, or buy a
new bag from a local store, you’re making an impact in your community.
“In fact, for every dollar spent at a small business in the U.S., approximately 67 cents stays in the local community.”
So show your local community and your loved ones some extra attention this Valentine’s Day – it’s only three days away!
