Small Businesses Bring Communities to Life

Close your eyes and picture your neighborhood. Picture the homes, the parks, and the open spaces. Now picture the businesses in your neighborhood. Imagine that instead of your favorite unique local businesses, all the places are the same cookie-cutter concepts. The same coffee shop; the same restaurant; the same boutique; the same repair shop.

That is the effect of big box and big tech. They remove the authenticity of small businesses with promises of cheaper prices, faster delivery times, and larger inventories.

But those promises come at a cost, and that cost impacts the very businesses that make our communities thrive.

Local First Arizona fights to keep our communities filled with businesses that bring neighborhoods to life. Join us in the fight for anti-trust legislation by calling your legislators today. Ask them to support small businesses. Tell them that you support locally-owned businesses and you need them to do the same.

As big box chains and big tech companies continue to dominate our communities, manipulate our data, and leverage monopolistic powers, local businesses are squeezed out of the marketplace. They are replaced by the big brands on every corner in every community. Who wants that?
