This local “multiplier effect” is significant because local businesses often source products from other small businesses, creating a positive economic ripple throughout the community. As stated by Forbes, Small businesses account for 99.9% of all businesses in the U.S. and employ nearly half of the American workforce. In other words, by shopping locally, consumers help maintain and create jobs that sustain their communities year-round.
