Why Shop Local?
- Buying local creates local jobs and keeps our Prince Edward Island communities strong – especially our rural towns and villages.
- Small business owners and producers are our neighbours - farmers, fishers, entrepreneurs, artists and innovators. They are the same people who support our local sports teams, community groups and charities. Buy from them, and everyone wins.
- It’s good for the environment as buying local reduces packaging and processing as well as transportation emissions.
- Great customer service – think about the small business owner that sponsors the team jerseys, the artist who makes that one-of-a-kind item for you or the toy shop keeper who remembers your child's name when you walk in.
