Be a Part of the Shop Local Movement!

It’s easy to shop local. From the foods you consume, the products & services you purchase to the banks you use all have locally-owned alternatives. You can make a difference and help sustain our local community by choosing to patronize a locally-owned business whenever possible. You’ll be supporting and helping celebrate the people, businesses and institutions that make Oshkosh unique. And your money will stay right here, in our vibrant and diverse community. Over time, money spent with a local business generates 75% more state and local tax revenues and is far more likely to be re-spent locally.

Be a part of the local movement by getting involved. You’ll have fun, get to know others in your community, and help make Oshkosh a better place to live!
