Why shop Indie?



The Community

Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.



The Environment

Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.



The Economy

Of $100 spent at a local-owned business $52 of that stays in your community.
Spend $50 at a national chain and $6.50 stays in the local community.
Spend $50 online with a remote vendor with no sales tax collected and not one penny stays in your local community.

The bottom line is that more of your taxes are reinvested in your community⁠—where they belong.
