Shopping Local Has a Huge Impact in Long Prairie!

Small Businesses Are the Backbone of Minnesota

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy, small businesses are truly the backbone of Minnesota’s economy, making up 99.5% of all businesses and employing 1.3 million people. That’s almost half of the state’s entire workforce!

Each dollar spent at a small business supports our amazing community with increased tax revenue, which helps improve our services and infrastructure while also providing local jobs for local people. The result? A higher standard of living that everyone in Long Prairie can enjoy.

It’s also been noted that independent locally-owned businesses recirculate 48% of their revenue locally compared to 13% by chain businesses.

Dollar for dollar, when you shop local in Long Prairie, you also support economic growth, job creation, and support one-of-a-kind restaurants and shops that add a vibrant character to the community.

Happy shopping!
