5 Places I Love to “Shop Local” in STMA

Earlier this week I mentioned that it’s “Shop Local Week” in STMA. (You can read more about the value of shopping at local businesses at stmamom.com/shoplocal.)

Here are five of MY favorite places to “shop local” in St. Michael–Albertville:

“Shop Local Week” in STMA

It’s Shop Local Week in St. Michael–Albertville, seven days dedicated to the celebration of local businesses and to keeping our shopping dollars in our own community.

Why shop local?

  • Because shopping local strengthens the local economy
  • Dollars spent local, stay local
  • Locally owned businesses create jobs
  • Local businesses support charities and youth activities
  • Local business owners invest in the community

So this week, help to stimulate our local economy by spending money at STMA businesses. Click here to view a list of businesses that belong to Shop STMA, and keep your eyes out for other great local places where you can invest money back into the community.

Pledge your support by marking yourself as “Going” on the Shop Local event on Facebook >> https://facebook.com/events/2033029060317237
