Shop Local Brookville!
We believe that it is important to support and sustain local businesses in order to keep our town thriving. 


Why Shop Local?

  1. Shopping local boosts the local economy because more of the money you spend in your local independent business stays in the community than if you shopped at a big-box store or out of town.
  2. Shopping local creates jobs. Small, local businesses are the largest employers nationally. When we support local shops and services, we are supporting the process of creating local jobs.
  3. Local business support community groups. Local businesses are more likely to support local events, schools, charities and sports groups. When you shop at a local business you are in essence supporting your community.
  4. Shopping local supports the character of Brookville. Brookville’s friendly and authentic small town atmosphere is created by the people and the businesses. Our distinctive shops and services contribute to our quality of life and to the character of Brookville. Shopping local keeps these businesses here.
  5. Shopping local increases our tax base. When you support and invest your day-to-day dollar in Brookville business you are contributing to our tax base which improves the services we all benefit from. No local business means higher taxes for everyone.
  6. Local businesses invest in Brookville. When we support local business we support the future of our community. Businesses owned by Brookville folks are less likely to leave the community and are more invested in our success.
  7. Supporting local business encourages investment. Research is stating entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities, like Brookville, that preserve and support independent and distinctive businesses.
  8. Local business offers choices. Over the long term, successful local businesses are able to supply products based on local needs, interests and demands rather than based on national sales strategies.
  9. Shopping local saves services. Private and public services tend to cluster around shops. As retail merchants disappear, so do services such as hairdressers, banks, restaurants, and other businesses.
  10. Shopping local saves you time and money. By not travelling to out of town shops, you are saving on fuel (money and the environment) and time. By buying local and what you need, rather than all those “deals” on your way to cashier at a big box store, you are saving money and reducing items that will just go to the landfill anyway!
