In Portland, independent businesses drive the economy – our city contains roughly 23,600 small businesses that provide 308,000 jobs. By supporting a small, independent business, you are supporting your community. In fact, each $100 spent at local independent businesses generates about $45 of secondary local spending, compared to $14 for a big-box chain. Plus, neighborhood businesses donate to local causes at more than twice the rate of national chains. Celebrate National Independent Retailer Month by supporting these businesses that have gone above and beyond for their communities.
