Frequently Asked Questions
To quote a fellow independent bookstore, Black Pearl Books:
When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community benefits.
Here are some facts:
* Spend $100 at a local-owned business and $52 of that stays in your community.
* Spend $50 at a national chain and keep $6.50 in the local community.
* Spend $50 online with a remote vendor with no sales tax collected and keep not one penny in your local community.
* Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHOOSE. Make a direct impact on your community by supporting independent retail stores. For most of us, it's never about the products we sell, but about the people we serve.
