Toledo Choose Local - Buy Local Week

Buy Local Week 2007
Toledo’s first ever Buy Local Week was Saturday November 24 – Saturday December 1!

During this week, Toledoans were thinking local while beginning their holiday shopping. More money stays in our community (nearly 2.2 times more for every $100 spent!) when purchases are made at independently owned businesses as opposed to national chains!

Lucas County Commissioners and the Toledo City Council passed official “Buy Local First Week” Resolutions to "encourage every citizen to support locally-owned, independent businesses and choose the future we want to see with every purchase we make." Click here to view the County's resolution.
