Welcome

Every week, we'll shine the SPOTLIGHT on a local business in the "Shop Burlington County First" program, the "buy local" initiative created by Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders and its regional partners, the Burlington County Bridge Commission and the Burlington County Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Freeholder-Director

you to "Shop Burlington County First": "Join in our efforts to energize the economy in Burlington County, keep it growing, and create new jobs."

This Week's Spotlight is on...

Getting Ready for Spring, Passover and Easter

Shop Burlington County First

Spring is finally here, and that means many of you are ready to get out of the house, celebrate Passover, Easter and the warmer weather. Remember to support your local businesses when you do your shopping.

Why Buy Local?

If each household in Burlington County spent just $10 more each month at Burlco businesses, the resulting annual impact to the local economy would be about $19.9 MILLION DOLLARS!

For every $100 spent locally in independently owned stores, shops and restaurants, $44 to $83 is re-circulated in the local economy. When $100 is spent in national chains, only $14 to $43 stays in the local economy.

How we all benefit by shopping Burlington County:

Keep Burlington County's economy strong and growing.
