Top 5 Reasons for Buying Local

1. Enrich the community economy. Each time money is spent at a locally-owned business, the tax stays in Dane County to support local resources such as schools, parks, police and fire...and much more.

2. Keep Dane County original. We ensure that unique, one-of-a-kind businesses survive.

3. Provide more jobs. All together, locallyowned independent businesses are our largest employer.

4. Ensure a solid foundation for local nonprofit organizations who serve us. Locallyowned businesses give more.

5. Create good places to work: We want work life to reflect home town friendliness and familiarity. Treating our employees well is part of our community commitment.
