City of Rocklin recently issued the following announcement.
Rocklin, Placer County and local city leaders have united to roll-out a Shop Placer campaign this holiday season. The “Shop Placer, Show Love for Local” campaign, encourages Placer County residents to shop local whenever possible.
Shop Placer is a regional effort to support local businesses, especially those hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Shopping local also provides a variety of benefits to residents.
For instance, shopping locally helps keep businesses open and preserves jobs. It also keeps tax dollars invested in our communities for important services including law enforcement and fire services.
Small businesses give back to local communities – many of them sponsor Little League and softball teams, donate to charity events, fundraisers and galas.
Local retailers are knowledgeable about their products and can give personalized one-on-one attention to their customers.
