‘Shop Local’ Initiatives Making Headway in South Jersey
Woodbury, NJ – With dozens of large retail chains nearby, including two Walmarts–both within a five minute drive from each other–small businesses like those in downtown Woodbury need all the help they can get these days .
“The backbone of business in Gloucester County is small business,” says Gloucester County Freeholder Heather Simmons–who was the first to sign the county’s “Shop, Dine, Go Local” pledge Thursday morning, during a press conference at the Monogram Shoppe on Broad Street in Woodbury.
But Gloucester County isn’t the only one trying to give local, small businesses a boost during a slow economic recovery, and at a time when competition from online businesses is fiercer than ever.
