Locally Owned/Operated

Why support locally owned businesses? Here are just a few good reasons:

• For every $100 spent at locally owned businesses, $45 stays in the local economy, creating jobs and expanding the city's tax base. For every $100 spent at a national chain or franchise store, only $14 remains in the community.
• One-of-a-kind, independent businesses are an integral part of what makes a community a great place to live.
• Local business owners tend to set up shop downtown and in walkable neighborhood business districts, rather than developing on the city's fringe or in strip malls accessible only by automobile. Having a diverse array of businesses within walking or biking distance reduces the amount of driving and helps conserve land, limit sprawl, and lessen traffic and air pollution.

The listings on this page are taken from Redding's own "Your Little Guide" created by a local Redding business owner, for local Redding business owners. Without Tanyalee and Joshua's hard work and dedication to this project we would be unable to highlight these locally owned businesses for you.
