Why Local

Buying local makes our economy thrive!

Locally owned businesses and patrons that care about the community. Each one of us can play an important role in creating a vibrant community and healthy economy by supporting and shopping at local Fort Collins businesses in the community. Our everyday decisions have a powerful impact, especially when it comes to the businesses we support. There are many ways to be a localist, but the simplest is to start with a commitment to always support and shop at local Fort Collins businesses first.

Shopping at local Fort Collins businesses is good for the environment – they use less land, carry local products, and more.

Keep FoCo Beautiful

Fort Collins is our favorite place to be – when purchasing local, your tax dollars go to beautifying the community!

Support our Community

Local Fort Collins businesses donate 250% more to local non-profits than big box stores. You can support the Fort Collins community by shopping at local businesses.
