PELHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Small businesses in Pelham are coming together to encourage people to shop local. Pelham's business alliance is working with local businesses to have another small business Saturday like the national day in November.
Unfortunately the national small business day does not see much success in our state because of Iron Bowl.
This go around the Business Alliance wants business owners in Pelham to know that anyone can participate. The goal of the campaign is to inform neighbors of the importance of shopping in your city. It helps support schools, roads, city facilities and more. The business alliance says that on average, 60 cents of every dollar spent locally stays local; compared to 8 cents of every dollar spent online goes back to the state and even less goes back to your community.
