Why Shop Local? How Important Is It?
Penn Township is a small rural community made up of many smaller businesses. Owners are usually long time residents of the Township that have been born & raised here or they are now currently raising a young family.
Our business owners are proud community supporters! Many times though, people do not realize how much is asked of our small businesses. Just about every event that takes place in our schools, our churches and organizations have a business leader involved somehow. Whether it be in the preparation of the events or in the financing of them, Penn Township businesses are extremely involved in their community! On any given day, you may find, not one, but a stack of letters requesting donations on the owners desk... But what does that mean to you?
Our PTBA members love to give back to their community and offer support where needed. BUT they DO need your support to continue to do this. It is VERY important to buy local, shop local and support these small business owners. When small businesses close their doors, the whole community takes a loss.
The PT Business & Professional Association encourages you to remember their members first. They are the ones that believe in giving back; they make many community events possible and their members go above & beyond the call of duty. You can view a list of current members below.
If your business is not a currently a member, we encourage you to join with us today. We offer many great advertising perks to reach our local community. We are interested in YOUR ideas and we look forward to meeting you soon. Our next meeting, in early May (date to be announced), will be at the PT Municipal Building with light refreshments. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have or any discussions to be placed on the agenda.
