If you haven’t yet experienced the power of shopping small, it’s time to “THINK LOCAL FIRST.” Every purchase from a LOCAL independent business strengthens your community—fueling local growth, jobs, and sustainability. In fact, 68% of every dollar spent locally is reinvested right back into the community, driving true economic resilience and prosperity across Orange County.
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
