I cannot speak for business. I do not own one. I can speak as a consumer. I buy where I know my money goes back to community. I buy my clothes at good will or value village. I support jobs and recycling. I get all bike supplies from Rick who owned, operates the bike shop by rail station. He also invites community out on Tuesdays to be a part of community. I buy my school supplies from target, who supports shop with cop for holidays, I buy my fishing licenses at Bass Pro. We are talking about buying property. I buy local for hardware, tools. I do not shop at home depot or Lowe's. I shop at McLendons. I miss my hardware store Kenyon Noble and Simkins in MT. My car shop is Central Automotive. These guys, I now drive 4 hours to see. As a consumer, I care about long term community care and how they take honest care of me, the consumer, but how they value other people too.
