Whether you’re shopping for the holidays or any time really - consider shopping local at your favorite small businesses! By shopping with your locally owned small shops, more of your money is kept in our local economy which keeps local jobs available, helps the environment (less fuel and packaging!) and encourages entrepreneurship. This can have a BIG impact for some of our small biz owners.To give you a jumpstart on Small Business Saturday, the Abodies compiled a list of some of their favorite local stores and service providers.
