When YOU choose a local
business, everyone benefits
Independent businesses are the lifeblood of places like St Albans. When you spend with a local business, that money circulates within the community, supports jobs, funds local suppliers and keeps our high streets alive.
Research shows that around 70p of every £1 spent with an independent business stays within the local economy. Choosing local isn't just good for business, it's good for everyone.
