Shopping & Services in Aberdeen, South Dakota
Shopping Local
When you shop locally your spending has a profound impact on the area. More money stays within our community, fueling economic prosperity. Data shows that for every $100 spent at a local business, approximately $68 stays in the community, compared to only $43 when spent at a national chain. This money also supports jobs, infrastructure, and other essential community services. The small business sector plays a pivotal role in the economic growth of our area.
You can find anything you need locally, and if you can’t, odds are the business owner can get it for you. Just ask. Local businesses value, respect, and appreciate your patronage. They want and need your business. Independent shops create distinctive shopping experiences and stock different products than those found at big box stores. Local businesses respond quickly to the needs of local customers, stocking products to meet the changing population’s needs.
