Why Local Matters

68%

68% of every dollar spent with a small business returns to the local economy.

Shifting just a portion of your shopping, dining and entertainment to small, local businesses makes a HUGE impact. Your dollars can be a boom to our local economy when you keep it local and encourage others to do the same.

Experience Arlington

We’re bigger than New Orleans, Orlando and Anaheim, and we need to act like it. We need to be our own biggest advocates supporting our amazing local businesses and showing them off to all our family, friends, neighbors, and anyone that will listen.

89%

Businesses with fewer than 100 employees still make up 98.2% of US employers, and businesses with fewer than 20 employees make up 89% of US employers.

Make an active effort to support the businesses that support our community. That employs our community.

250%

Small Businesses (less than 500 employees) donate 250% more than large businesses to community causes.
