Tri-County ‘Shop Local’ Initiatives Kick off in Collingswood

Collingswood, NJ – Every year the Christmas shopping season kicks off earlier and earlier. This year, the latest push is a tri-county, “shop local” campaign that kicks off September 27 in downtown Collingswood.

“$27 on the 27th” is the theme of the event, which invites shoppers to spend at least $27 at local businesses from 6 to 8 p.m., with “discounts and giveaways for participants,” promises a press release from the borough.

“We’re asking that people shop local first for their needs and Collingswood provides a lot of what residents need within a mile or so of their homes,” said Collingswood Mayor James Maley in the press release. “Buying local first means that your dollars go back to revitalize and support your town.”
