Shop Local Program
The Ossining Chamber members put together special promotions enticing the community of Ossining to Shop Local the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Small local businesses are the backbone of our economy. For every $100 spent at a local business, $73 remains in the local economy and $27 leaves. Compared to the same $100 spent at a non-locally owned business, where $43 remains in the local economy and $57 leaves. When profits stay local it increases the community's wealth, tax revenue and standard of living.
Shop Small is Saturday after Thursday
