9) Just like your loyal labradoodle, your local economy will love you back!
8) Local businesses keep jobs here. Instead of bringing in a small wing of a large company, a wing that might leave in 10 years, catalyzing the creation of local businesses creates jobs that will stay here in Spokane.
7) Fresh, locally roasted coffee is delicious!
6) Tax dollars from Spokane businesses support our own local services, and aren’t taken to other states.
5) Have you tried locally grown food? It’s amazing. Our local farmers do a fantastic job.

That means you can count on local retailers for better information, service, and (gasp!) even price.
3) Because when it snows 3 inches, no one is calling from a head office in Florida to ask if we’re ok.
2) Local businesses buy more often from other local businesses. More money spent at Spokane retailers stays in the local community.
1) Chocolates are made and roses are grown right here in Spokane.
