Coffee News of Chicago

Are you a small, independent business owner? Are you affected by the poor economy? Are you concerned about the vitality of your town’s Business Community?

Coffee News is a proud member of the 3/50 Project, and we encourage you to sign up too!

How does this relate to you and your business? The 3/50 Project encourages people to spend an additional $50.00 each per month in three of their favorite small independent businesses. Here is the difference this could make in a typical community:

For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If that same $100 is spent in a national chain, only $43 stays in the community. Spend $100 online, and the community gets nothing.

Visit the 3/50 Project homepage, and sign your business up today. And remember to encourage your customers to shop local, where there dollars go further to improving our communities.
