Fremont’s Buy Local campaign

Uncategorized

Did you know there are more than 100 locally owned businesses in Fremont? And that 45 percent of the money you give to those businesses is in turn used to support other local stores and businesses?

The Fremont Chamber is working with locally owned businesses to help promote Fremont as a unique and vibrant local neighborhood that needs — and deserves — your dollars. Banners have been installed to remind people to shop locally, and now you can participate by hanging a “Buy Local Fremont” sign in your window.

If you do not have one of these signs and would like one, give Jessica Vets a call at 206.632.1500 or email director@fremont.com.

The chamber is also working with the Seattle Good Business Network, “an aspiring network of like-minded people who believe that local, independent businesses are the heart and soul of a sustainable local economy.”

Here’s more information from them in their own words:

Our organization is both new and old. In 2009, our core team formed the organization out of a desire to create a network of local businesses that would support each other in promoting a healthy local economy. A few months later, we merged with BALLE Seattle, an organization that has held the space for a sustainable business network for over seven years, and developed a tremendous amount of goodwill within the Seattle community of people who care about our place.

The Network is an affiliate of the national Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE), North America’s fastest growing network of socially responsible businesses, comprised of over 80 community networks representing 22,000 independent business members across 30 U.S. States and Canadian provinces.
