Why shop Indie? When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community
benefits:

. Spend $100 at a local and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43.
. Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
. More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.

To find a store near you go to and put in your zip code http://www.indiebound.org/indie-store-finder
