Why Buy Local?

5 Reasons to Shop at a Fort Wayne family owned store.

In honor of our recent celebration of Small Business Saturday, at Crescent Avenue Gardens, we would like to thank all of our loyal customers, with whom we have had the pleasure to work with over the years. We have gotten to see, firsthand, what makes Fort Wayne such a great community.

There’s still time to get that last minute Christmas shopping done, and at Crescent Avenue Gardens, we love to support local, family-owned small businesses! Here are five of the many reasons why we shop local and hope that you will too!
1. Support Yourself – Evidence suggests that when you buy local, chances are, the money you spend goes right back into your community, strengthening your own community’s economy!

2. Support Your Community – When it comes to supporting non-profits, small businesses give 250% more financial support to the community than large businesses.

3. Create Local Jobs – When you support small businesses, you create more jobs locally, improving the community and its economy.

4. Make Personal Connections – Local business owners do what they do because they are passionate about it. They love meeting customers and building personal relationships with them. When you shop local, you get the advantage of getting to know the business owner.

5. Better Customer Service – Local businesses thrive on their reputation and repeat customers. That means the attention to customer service is incredibly higher than that of larger businesses. When you shop at Crescent Avenue Gardens, you are treated as a person, rather than an account.
