Local Shopping Experience!
Here are some easy ways to do it:
- Support local artisans when buying candles, soap, handcrafted jewelry, furniture, and more
- Buy fruit & veggies from a farmer's market or CSA
- Shop at a local hardware store as opposed to a big box store
- Have a local baker make your birthday cakes, holiday desserts and cookies
- Buy from independent book sellers instead of Amazon
- Eat at independently-owned restaurants not national chains
- Use local craftspeople to repair and refurbish furniture or broken household items instead of throwing them away
- Attend SHOP LOCAL CBUS events!

At our SHOP LOCAL CBUS events most of the booths are manned by the artists themselves! Build relationships within the community with the artisans who created the products you are buying.
HiGH QUALITY ITEMS

MONEY STAYS LOCAL
Shopping Local returns 7x the money to the local community compared to buying online. Every purchase made at our SHOP LOCAL CBUS events helps a local family and they, in turn, spend that money in Central Ohio.

Spending $$ with one-of-a-kind businesses at a SHOP LOCAL CBUS event keeps the community feeling like home not just a bunch of national chains. Local businesses contribute more to local charities further helping the community at large.
