May Rewards card at the Country Store

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

The Country Store has initiated a “May Rewards” card which allows you to accumulate $200 in purchases in May for a free prize, such as a free handcut ribeye steak. Purchases of $25 or more will count towards your May purchases. This is a tangible incentive to Buy Local.

And another thing…their fresh asparagus is delicious! And I mean FRESH. It was brought in Wednesday from a Montrose supplier. Makes it seem like spring in spite of the brisk wind outside.

The Economic Feasibility Study identified the significant sales leakage to neighboring towns. A previous DIRT resident survey indicated that there was a lack of awareness of the everyday items available for sale in Lake City.

By doing business locally, we strengthen our immediate economy and turnover dollars in the community longer. According to national statistics, every dollar spent at a local place of business is usually spent 6 to 15 times before it leaves the community. $1 becomes $6 which becomes $15 in community value.

The Hinsdale County/Lake City Chamber of Commerce and Lake City DIRT are partnering in a Think Local consumer-awareness campaign. Join the discussion!
