This Valentine’s Day, while you
are showering your sweetie with love,
there are many local businesses that
can help you fill the bill nicely! An
article by Tiffany Hsu of the Los
Angeles Times says that Americans
will spend around 150 million dollars
on greeting cards alone! Men and
women alike are expected to spend an
average of $126.00 on their sweetie for
this Holiday.
If every one of those purchases were
made in locally owned stores, custom
jewelers, florists, candy/bake shops or
restaurants it would have an enormous
economic impact on our region!
Northeast Kansas has a wonderful
selection of shops that will make your
shopping easy. So before you call that
national 800 number or head to a large
chain store or restaurant remember
how much your local businesses
appreciate your love, and how much
you would miss them if they were to
“go away”. This popular phrase comes
to mind “Home is Where the Heart
is” what a great mantra for making
your purchases and finding services
everyday….all the year through!
Discover Sarah Kathryn’s in
Lancaster! Beautiful and unique
gifts, jewelry and more. Join them
for a Valentine’s Day Card
