There are many benefits to shopping and dining locally:
~Darien’s “one-of-a-kind” shops give Darien a distinctive character.
~Shopping locally is social! See friends, be with family, get advice to make great purchases for your family, yourself and your friends!
~Our local businesses generously donate goods and services 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! We need them to be strong so our students can be successful!
~Shopping locally uses less gas, is convenient and friendly!
~ Many of our locally owned businesses will have specials for shoppers on Saturday, Nov. 25 — a great reason to visit a favorite store or discover something new in town! Go to the Darien Chamber of Commerce website for a list of participating retailers — click on Shop Small Saturday-Nov. 25.
