Why eat local?
A study found that for every $1,000,000 in sales, independent restaurants generate $650,000 in local economic activity, compared to $300,000 for chains1.
Spending at locally owned and independent businesses can recirculate through the local economy 2-4 times more than money spent at non-local companies, generating more local wealth and charitable contributions2.
The restaurant industry fosters regional job growth, supports local agriculture, and keeps money within the community. Choosing to dine at a local business generates almost four times more economic benefits for the local community3.
Restaurants are described as engines of economic growth across the country, injecting billions into local and state economies, creating jobs, developing careers, and supporting local programs and businesses4.
