1. More Money Circulates Within the Local Economy
When a consumer buys local, significantly more of that money stays in the community as local  businesses often purchase from other local businesses.

2. Increased Support for Non-Profit Organizations 
Non-Profits often receive greater support from local business owners​ rather than non-local.

3. Unique Businesses Create Character & Prosperity
Local businesses give a community its character. There are similar chain restaurants, grocery & department stores all across the country but "that diner down the street" is one-of-a-kind. The combined presence of your town’s many local businesses makes it different from every other town in the world. By supporting those businesses instead of chains, you ensure that uniqueness is preserved as a part of your community. Uniqueness & character play a large role in your overall satisfaction with where you live as well as the value of your home & property. 

4. Better Customer Service
When you shop at a local business, the owner is usually directly connected to every employee in the store. For this reason, problems you have are likely taken more seriously. 

5. Local Business Owners Invest in the Community
Local businesses are owned by people who live in the community and are less likely to leave, therefore, they tend to be more invested in the community's welfare and future.

6. Public Benefits Far Outweigh Public Costs.
Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure and more efficiently utilize public services relative to chain stores.

7. Competition And Diversity Leads To More Consumer Choices.
A marketplace of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term.
