In today's edition of "Put Your Money Where Your House Is," we highlight the specialty of local businesses.
Local business owner Joe Houston is very familiar with what makes local purchasing beat out big box stores.
"So, the one thing you can't achieve at any big box or corporate-level store that small businesses are experts in is personalized and specialized service. When you shop with us, Prairie Corner, Eastside Furniture, or any small business in Dauphin, you get someone who knows your name, remembers what you were here for last time, and is happy to find your next perfect fit."
Factors like these make local businesses competitive, and even more beneficial than the massive, exterior companies.
And, of course, it keeps the money you spend where you live!
