Here are 5 reasons why you should shop small:

1. We hire YOUR community: Small businesses account for 47% of jobs in the US. That’s roughly 62 million people of the private workforce. That's a whole lot of jobs!

2. We are the BACKBONE of your local economy: Money spent at small businesses stays in the community. Taxes paid by small businesses contribute to local infrastructure, schools and public resources for all. Its win win for all :)

3. We GIVE back: Small businesses invest back into your local community. We support local initiatives and sponsor events which makes our neighborhood more vibrant.

4. We INSPIRE and CULTIVATE entrepreneurship by encouraging people to take risks and start their own business.

5. We are UNIQUE: Small businesses bring diversity and uniqueness to a community, offering local craftsmanship (like artisanal donuts… for example) and distinct experiences that large chains can’t replicate. Lets face it, Donuts just taste better in small batches vs factory pre-made mixes.
