Why Shop Local Leander?
The math for buying close to home (Leander) is compelling—for every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $73 remains in the local economy, and $27 leaves. Compare that to the same $100 spent at a non-locally owned business, where $43 remains in the local economy and $57 leaves. Recent research indicates that local eateries return nearly 79 percent of revenues to the community, compared to just over 30 percent for chain restaurants.
When profits stay in Leander, it increases the community’s wealth, tax revenue and standard of living. Small local businesses are still the backbone of our economy.
