Why Local First?
In order to make Milwaukee a more sustainable community, our goal is to build market share for locally-owned, independent businesses by increasing awareness about the personal and community benefits of choosing local. Remember, for every $1 you spend at a locally owned business, more than 68¢, versus 43¢ spent at a national chain, remains in Milwaukee. Featured MemberCityTins![]() CityTins is a reusable tin filled with 22 coaster gift cards, plus two keepsake coasters and the CityTins DinnerSpinner. Each coaster gift card is good for $10 off one of the 22 participating restaurants, valid throughout 2010 and retails for just $25. A $220 value inside every tin. CityTins is a unique fundraising opportunity for local schools and non-profits. It is also a way newcomers can tap into the best local eats in the city. Best of all, it is a no-brainer for gifting to a hostess, bridal receptions, date night, you name it! learn more about our member businesses here » |
