About Buy Local
Buy Local is a coalition of locally owned businesses encouraging people to "Think Globally, Buy Locally."
Buy Local members believe "dollars spent in locally-owned businesses have a greater impact on the local community as dollars spent at national chains. When shopping locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more city services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvement, and promote community development." [1]
The Buy Local region consists of businesses located in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Truckee, Tahoe, and and the surrounding area.
