Think outside the BOXstore

​Big business is not inherently bad, but it should not grow at the expense of small businesses that create and sustain the character of our small cities, towns and neighborhoods. There needs to be balance for a healthy economy.

Supporting small independent business starts with your purchase. Likes and shares are great, but small business in your community and online need your dollars to grow and innovate.

​Seek out local producers and manufacturers. Change your shopping pattern. Explore your main street. Google your way out of the "Amazon" and purchase from a small independent business. It's time to "Think outside the BOXstore."
