Buying Local – Harder than you think
A local business owner on a quest to get his purchasing needs met locally.
I am a strong believer in the” shop local” concept. I go out of my way to buy from people in my community. I stop at every produce stand I see and grab fresh fruit and vegetables for dinner. I seek out local restaurants and shops to buy my goods.
Now why I think it is not always so easy. I run a computer repair company located in Bloomingdale area. I struggle to buy parts and equipment locally to service my customers. While I am on my search for a local source of products and parts, I am buying from CompUSA so that I know that a portion of my money is going toward helping my neighbors have a job and make a living.
