Shop Local This Holiday Season

Shopping at Burlington small businesses during the holiday season isn’t just convenient, it’s an investment in the financial well-being of the town. Local businesses are a part of Burlington’s personality, and future of the community.

Rick Parker, President of the Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) spoke on the importance of supporting Burlington’s local economy. 
“Shopping local this holiday season is more important than ever. Many Burlington small businesses and retailers rely heavily on holiday spending to carry them through the year. Every purchase from a local business helps to keep the local economy vibrant and allows residents of the community to have a direct impact on the success of their small business neighbors. We are extremely fortunate to have so many shopping options available to us right here in Burlington and everyone can do their part to help keep it that way. Shop locally and make a difference!”

Local businesses count on holiday dollars as much as any business. Remember that when you’re out and about this holiday season to patronize local eateries, coffee and bake shops. You can reenergize with a bite and pick up gift cards and goodies for gift giving. By making purchases from locally own and operated businesses you’re supporting the community. Visit the BACC website for their member directory of local business that are active in the chamber, including many small business retailer and speciality shops as well as restaurants and cafes.
