shop local
Buy from neighbors
Shop local is an exhortation to patronize neighborhood businesses rather than chains or online retailers.
The phrase functions as both a verb phrase and a rallying cry for community economic development: Shop local this holiday season.
The movement emphasizes keeping money circulating within the community and supporting small business owners.
