Member Profile: Wilton Hardware By alyssavilla | March 2, 2020 Why small businesses matter in our community? Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy. It is up to US to support the businesses that make Wilton great! Of the 17,000 people who live in Wilton if only 4000 residents (less than 25%) spent $10 more a month on shopping local, they increase local sales by $480,000. According to recent statistics $.67 of every dollar goes back into the community. That’s over $321,000 back into the community through supporting local fundraisers, sports teams, schools, employing residents, etc. Posted in Member News and tagged direct impact on local economy, Shop local, Support small businesses, Wilton Chamber of Commerce
