Shop Local

Why shop local?

Locally-owned businesses are the backbone of our local economy and the foundation of Santa Ana's unique culture. Your purchasing choices have a huge impact on Santa Ana. Locally-owned businesses are more likely to recirculate your purchase dollars into payments to other local suppliers. Economists call this a “multiplier effect,” because it redirects more jobs and sales-tax revenue into our own community. Join the movement to think local, be local, and buy local.

Remember: Shop Local. Shop Santa Ana.
