More Information
Think Local First supports locally-owned businesses as they create more prosperous, connected and entrepreneurial communities. It matters where people choose to spend their money. Opting to support locally owned, independent businesses creates a positive effect, often referred to as a ‘multiplier effect,’ which is credited with enhancing social and civic well-being, is linked to higher wages, and reduces inequality while strengthening the middle class.
A Local​ Independent​ Business​ Means:
Private, worker, community or cooperative ownership
Decision-making authority is vested in the local owners and not subject to conditions dictated remotely (not a publicly traded company)
At least 50% locally-owned
