Importance of Shopping Small

For every dollar spent at a small business in Downtown Wabash, 67¢ stays in the local economy. When you shop small this holiday season, you’re supporting an independently owned business with all the heart and soul of a next door neighbor! Consider giving back to your community by shopping small while enjoying the hometown holiday cheer. Shop small all year round, but especially during the holiday shopping frenzy.
