Keep Llangollen Special (KLS) is running its latest Buy Local day tomorrow (Friday).
It’s another chance to patronise smaller independent
businesses in the town in a bid to ensure money stays in Llangollen rather than
being spent elsewhere.
Various participating shops and traders will once
again have special offers during the day.
KLS chair Mike Edwards said: “We postponed the
event from last week – it is normally held on the second Friday in the month -
to coincide with the Federation of Small Businesses own buy local week, which
calls for residents and communities to support their local independent shops
and suppliers.
“KLS has now been holding our Buy Local initiative
for over 12 months and the events continue to build up impetus because they are
fully supported by our local independent businesses and many local residents.
“I would appeal to all residents of Llangollen to
support our local shops because they provide high quality and fresh goods at
competitive prices.
“The majority of residents can walk down into town,
whether you live on the A5 side of town or the Abbey Road area. So why travel
to distant locations with all the hassle of the traffic and the hidden cost of
fuel to get there?
“Residents can also be assured that if they spend locally their money
recirculates in the Llangollen and Dee Valley economy and will not be exported
to some distant corporate HQ in the south of England if you buy from a
supermarket.”
