130 OF THE VALLEY’S BEST 
MOM AND POPS, INCLUDING 
CLOTHING STORES, COOKIE SHOPS, FUNKY BOUTIQUES, BOOK STORES AND MUCH MORE! SHOP HERE FOR SOME TRULY GREAT FINDS AND TO PUT MONEY BACK WHERE IT BELONGS – INTO THE LOCAL ECONOMY.

Let’s play a little game. Let’s pretend that you and nine of your friends need supplies for a party – decorations, gifts, cards, food, drinks, napkins, etc. – and you’re each willing to spend $100. You’re headed to the nearest superstore, like Wal-Mart, right? It makes sense – where else can you get everything you need in one stop? 

But let’s think about this for a second. According to Local First Arizona, an organization that fights to keep your money circulating in the state, for every $100 spent at a national chain store, $13 remains in Arizona. So after your group of 10 raids Wal-Mart, you’ve just made $130 for the state. Way to go. But for every $100 spent at a locally owned business, $45 remains in Arizona. So if you take that shopping spree to the moms and pops of Phoenix, you’ve just put $450 back into the state and, eventually, into your own pockets.
