Buy Local Aquidneck

Here on Aquidneck Island we are blessed with great natural beauty, a vibrant local economy made up of independent businesses, wonderful family farms, educational institutions and active community organizations.

Our mission is to educate Aquidneck citizens to Think and Buy Local First.

“Local business owners are more likely to be socially connected and vested in our community.” – Balle

“Mom and Pop businesses keep $54.00 of every $100.00 spent in their store in the local economy, as opposed to $14.00 of every $100.00 from a big box retailer.” – Stacey Mitchell Hometown Advantage

Building a strong Buy Local Network encourages new independents to open up shop which brings jobs and revenues into the community.
