By championing Arizona’s indie businesses and entrepreneurs, you are making a positive impact on our local communities and economies! Let us show you how: 1️⃣ When you spend a dollar at a local independent business, 67 cents stays right here in our community. 2️⃣ The majority of that — 44 cents — goes to the indie business owner and their employees. 3️⃣ Those local independent businesses reinvest 23 cents of every dollar into other local businesses! In total, that dollar spent generates an additional 50 cents of local economic impact🔥 Check out our Business Directory (link is in the bio) to find a locally-owned business near you and help build a strong and resilient Arizona economy!
