Shop Local this Holiday Season

 

Join Your New Orleans communiTY AS WE SHOP AND DINE AT businesses in NOVEMBER & December

 

From your favorite restaurant for Friday night dinner, to the bookstore that always delivers on binge-worthy reads, to the boutique with perfect gifts, independent, local shops and restaurants are what helps make New Orleans so unique. That’s why StayLocal and its member businesses comprising independent, local shops, restaurants and seasonal markets put out the call to support local this holiday season.

Small business drives economic growth. In fact, every dollar spent at a locally owned, independent business returns 2-3 times more dollars back into our community, compared with a dollar spent at an out of state chain store. These dollars recirculate through the local economy, creating opportunity and building community wealth.
