At Promoboxx, we believe in retailers. If you read our blog regularly, you probably know that by now. We take a retailer-first approach to everything we do, and sometimes that means an impromptu Slack chat on why we shop local over big box! Check out some of our responses…

By supporting local businesses, the money earned is usually reinvested in my community. Also, having local businesses prevents the homogenization of our neighborhoods by large corporations who do not contribute to the community and instead invest their profits in rewards for their VPs.Barbara Donnelly, People Operations Specialist
Living in the city, local retailers are more accessible. I can walk to one and talk to a real human easily as soon as I walk in vs. driving to a big box, figuring out where the heck the customer service desk is, and then maybe they’ll help me (or maybe not).Evan Brett, VP of Marketing
