Chamber Chatter for the Week of October 2, 2013
Oct. 2, 2013: When you shop at large chain stores, the options offered to you are the same ones offered to everyone everywhere. You can escape this sameness by buying from independent retailers, who make different buying decisions. This is just one of the many reasons to buy locally and support independent businesses.
