• Invest In Community
Local businesses are owned by your friends and neighbors who are invested in the future of Bronxville.
• Better Service – Better Selection
Your local business understands the products they are selling and takes the time to learn their customer’s needs. Local merchants select products based on the needs and interests of their local customers.
• Keep Our Community Unique
Small businesses are an integral part of the distinct character of our Village.
SHOP LOCAL - BUY BRONXVILLE
• Support Community Groups
Local businesses donate more per sales dollar to local non-profits, events, and teams compared to a national chain.
• Better Public Services
Local businesses mean a stronger tax base, which means better schools, emergency response for you and your family, and a manicured community.
• Reduce Environmental Impact
Carbon footprint has a direct correlation to the distance goods must travel.
