Neighbors Recommend Local Small Businesses; Shop Local & Support Our Community
Who best to give us suggestions to South Cities favorite haunts than locals themselves? We have put the question out and the result is the list below. We will continue to add to it as folks make more recommendations. We whole heartedly encourage folks to support those in our community who support us, especially on the upcoming SATURDAY NOVEMBER 30 2013 SHOP SMALL BUSINESS DAY, a day of national recognition for these shops.

Benefits of Shopping Locally Owned Businesses
Civics Economics provided this study The San Francisco Retail Diversity Study which supports the economic reasons for shopping locally owned businesses:
“This study finds that San Francisco remains a stronghold for locally owned businesses, which generate sizable benefits for the city’s economy. The study has three parts. The first calculates market shares for independents and chains in several categories: bookstores, sporting goods stores, toy stores, and casual dining restaurants. In all four categories, independent businesses capture more than half of sales within the city of San Francisco, a much larger share than they have nationally. The second part examines the economic impact of locally owned businesses versus chains. It finds that local businesses buy more goods and services locally and employ more people locally per unit of sales (because they have no headquarters staff elsewhere). Every $1 million spent at local bookstores, for example, creates $321,000 in additional economic activity in the area, including $119,000 in wages paid to local employees. That same $1 million spent at chain bookstores generates only $188,000 in local economic activity, including $71,000 in local wages. The same was true in the other categories. For every $1 million in sales, independent toy stores create 2.22 local jobs, while chains create just 1.31. The final part of the study analyzes the impact of a modest shift in consumer spending. If residents were to redirect just 10 percent of their spending from chains to local businesses, that would generate $192 million in additional economic activity in San Francisco and almost 1,300 new jobs.”
We enjoy our neighbors to support local small businesses for these reasons cited by Sustainable Connections
