Top 5 Reasons to Buy Local in Binghamton

When you buy from a local business, the money goes right back into our community. It's pretty simple really. The company isn't based outside of the area, so more taxes are paid here by them.

When we buy local, the local businesses are more successful and that leads to more jobs.

The Southern Tier is packed with unique stores. Just down the street from the station is a cool little place that sells wind chimes and other things.  These one of a kind shops help shape our community character and you get to think outside the box for gifts.

When you invest in a local merchant by shopping with them, they, in turn do the same in our community. Whether it's expanding, hiring or supporting local charities. It's a great way to build our home.

There is no better feeling than being acknowledged by someone you buy from. They learn your needs and you can count on them in a way you can't with a national chain.
