What is RelyLocal?

A healthy community depends on a healthy economy, and both completely depend on the local businesses in Racine! There are a number of great studies out there that illustrate how shopping locally will stimulate the Racine economy.

Simply put, more money spent with local businesses stays here (about 68%), where much less money spent with national chains stays in the area (only about 14%), and money spent online... well... simply leaves. Forever.

"It's about the economy, stupid!" - James Carville

To us, supporting local businesses doesn't stop with the economy - It is all about creating a stable and vibrant community! Racine businesses create jobs (tax revenue for schools, parks, roads) while offering diversity in the marketplace, with unique products and services not found in big-box stores or chain restaurants. Not to mention - these local business are owned by the very people who sponsor our little leagues, donate to our local charities, and volunteer for our community events - giving back to the community in countless ways. You rely on them, but can they rely on you?

MAKING LOCAL BUSINESS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESSIn our fast-paced world of thrift, it’s easy to forget about the little guy - until it’s too late! Local businesses are the backbone of the Racine community and need our support! What does it mean to see a local company close its doors? It means the loss of great products and services, the loss of local jobs, and the loss of tax revenue that funds our schools, parks, and roads! You rely on our local businesses every day - can they rely on you?
