There are many benefits to shopping and dining locally:
~ In an increasingly homogenized world, our “one-of-a-kind” shops give Darien a distinctive character.
~ Our local businesses generously donate to our local non-profits and schools year after year. Shopping locally helps keep our community strong!
~ Locally owned businesses are the ones that give our teens and students their first jobs and internships!
~ Shopping local uses less gas, is convenient and friendly!
~ Many of our locally owned businesses will have specials for shoppers on Saturday, Nov. 26—a great reason to visit a favorite store or discover something new in town!
