This month, Mayor John E. McCormac announced the launch of Woodbridge Township’s Buy Local – Shop Main Street initiative. Offering Woodbridge residents the opportunity to enjoy discounts and savings when shopping at participating local establishments, the Buy Local initiative is a great new resource for sticking to a budget while helping the local economy.

Designed to stimulate township commerce while helping the environment, “Buy Local” highlights the benefits of shopping within the community. From saving money on gas to forming relationships with your retailers, buying local helps you watch your bottom line while fostering your sense of neighborly pride and helping to create jobs in the community. Just present your “Buy Local” club card, found in the July edition of the Woodbridge News, and enjoy all the benefits of being a buy local shopper. Visit the Buy Local directory for a list of participating stores and services, and let the saving begin.

For businesses, this is a great opportunity to gain new local customers and market your services. Visit the Woodbridge website to find out how to become a “Buy Local” establishment today.
