This 2011 Wilmette/Kenilworth Holiday Winter Shopping & Dining Guide features a comprehensive listing of area businesses that are committed to providing you with a wide variety of products and services along with great service. Why shop locally? • Many of the businesses are also your neighbors, and they care as deeply about the community as you do. They sponsor schools, sports teams and charity fundraisers. Did you know that locally owned businesses spend 45% of their revenues in the surrounding photo courtesy of Jan Loew Photography area, as compared with 14% that national retailers spend locally? • When you shop locally your sales tax dollars stay right here, where they support important services like snow, leaf and refuse removal. And, by shopping close to home, you save on gas, help the environment, and benefit from free parking. • And there’s another great reason to patronize local businesses. Many of our local businesses are one-of-a-kind small businesses. They are dynamic, responsive to your needs and have that personal feel that makes you feel welcome and appreciated. You can’t lose by shopping locally. You’ll benefit from an experience that is heavy on hospitality, keep your sales tax dollars in the community and sustain the small businesses that characterize Wilmette and Kenilworth. The Chamber of Commerce wishes you good health, happiness and prosperity in the coming New Year.
