Why Is It Important To Shop Local And Support Small Businesses?

Small local businesses are at the heart of any community. It is important to shop small local businesses for many reasons, including; community support, product diversity, positive economic impact, as well as maintaining local jobs. We care about and want to conserve the integrity of our city, and continue to give back with the quality of product our customers are accustomed to, because We know what they want.

Bakersfield’s climate has always been very strong, especially for a locally owned business! We receive so much support, and our motto from the day we opened Wiki’s in 2013 has been “Keep it local” and it works to this day!”

Shopping locally supports more than just our individual businesses, it enriches our community and puts money back in the pockets of the people of Bakersfield.

Small business owners and local shops work very hard and tirelessly to build their brand and create lasting connections with the people that they serve. We strive to create a unique experience for our guest built on trust, loyalty, and exceptional service.

At the Padre, we create experiences that you won’t find in a cookie cutter hotel. Staying with us means you’re getting the best hospitality and you’re within very close range of many other local shops & restaurants. Supporting local businesses has an immediate impact that resonates in many ways, keeping our community vibrant and strong.

You really do find people that want to help. There are women that want to point you in the right direction.

At Reveal, we focus on customer service and personalized treatments for patients. We’re not a franchise, so we support other small businesses in the community. At Reveal, we love how we are able to change people’s live from the inside and out.

We’re a family-run business and we have built great relationships with our customers and that resonates with us. The people who come to Imbibe are just great.

Why local?

A Smarter Way to Shop

Diversity in products and services

Small and local businesses tend to select products based on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, which guarantees a much more curated range of product choices suitable for you!

Local products are more often customizable and/or one-of-a-kind

Support your community

By buying local, you help create jobs for your friends and neighbors, contribute to improved public infrastructure, and invest in your community both socially and economically.

Develop relationships

Despite all of our advancements in technology, specifically online shopping, there’s nothing that will ever quite compare to the in-person customer service experience.

We’re innately social creatures and sometimes we can really use the help of a personal shopper to point us in the right direction.
Shopping in-store allows customers to talk to the employees and other shoppers and get advice about the best products for their lives.
