When consumers think about which stores to patronize, locally owned businesses may be the smartest option for a number of reasons.

More Money Kept In The Community According to recent research from Civic Economics, for every $100 spent at a local business, around $73 remains in the community, verus roughly $43 when shopping at a non-locally owned business.

Get A Personal Touch Local business owners typically are inclined to go the extra mile for their customers and are personally invested in the services and products they are selling. As a result, shopping locally tends to be a personalized experience.

Lines Are Short Waiting in long lines for checkout or to pick up merchandise ordered online can drain consumers’ energy and contribute to stress.

Local businesses tend to have short lines and small crowds, which can lead to a more pleasant shopping experience.

Generates Tax Revenue Taxes paid by local small businesses go to support schools, parks, roads, and other programs that benefit the community as well.

Small businesses are a boon to the economy, particularly local economies.

BELLA If you’re looking for a sweet dog, Bella might just be the girl for you! Bella is a 7.5-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix, who loves meeting new people.

In fact, it’s one of her favorite activities! Whenever she meets someone new, she wiggles with joy.

What could be better than a personality such as this? Bella also enjoys long walks, playtime in the pen and snoozing the day away on the couch.

A bit strong on a leash, she will need an adopter who understands this and who is willing to work with her on not pulling. Bella has lived with children in the past, and could potentially live with them again. She, unfortunately is not a fan of other animals, so she’ll need to be the only pet in the home. And bonus; she’s housetrained! If you’d like more information on how to meet Bella and potentially adopt her, please reach out to the Berkshire Humane Society kennel staff, (413) 447-7878 ext. 126.
