HILTON HEAD ISLAND • BLUFFTON • LOWCOUNTRY
Support Main Street. Not Wall Street.
Support Main Street Not Wall Street! Local businesses are vital for our community Small-scale, locally owned businesses create communities that are more prosperous, entrepreneurial, connected and generally better off. How we choose to spend our money matters. Do we want the Lowcountry to be “Anywhere, USA,” where chain stores and corporate behemoths dominate? Or do we want to live in a community with a rich, unique character created by the locally owned boutiques, stores, bakeries, restaurants and galleries— businesses run by knowledgeable local residents who care about and are invested in our area. Ordering from Amazon — which does not pay local or federal taxes, does not give back to the community and does not support local charities —does not support your neighbors. The choice is ours, and every day we vote with our wallets. Here at ShopMoreLocal.org our mission is simple: Advocate for local businesses, stress the importance of supporting locally owned businesses, and help businesses owners remain competitive. Join us in the fight to keep Hilton Head Island unique and to strengthen the Bluffton state of mind! Meredith DiMuzio
