As more and more people have decided to remain closer to home, the holidays bring an even more pressing need to not only stay safe, but to support the local businesses that make our communities vibrant and special. Local Retail Love was born of that idea, that shopping and supporting local, especially in 2020, is not only a great idea, it's an impactful one too.

To that end, a number of Stowe business have collaborated and designated Saturday, December 5th and Sunday, December 6th as Local Retail Love weekend. Every participating store is offering shoppers store-wide discounts or weekend-only offers, and most of them have also committed to donating a portion of their sales that weekend to various charities in the area.

Look for the heart shaped balloons flying outside stores in Stowe to indicate a Local Retail Love shop that is offering specials and incentives as way of saying thanks for the community's continued support through these challenging times. Below is a list of participating stores and their promotions on December 5th and 6th. Most all offer curbside pick-up, virtual tours, and online shopping for those who wish to participate but socially distance too.
