Up close and personal...Let me tell you about State Street!

State Street is unique to downtown Salem.   You can shop, meet the owners, have a bite to eat AND support your local economy!  Join us in supporting State Street and downtown Salem!

A few facts as to why you should stop and shop at these stores.
Did you know....
When you buy from a locally owned business, rather than a nationally owned business, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other businesses, service providers and farms?
Did you know...
Non-profits receive an average of 250% more support from small business owners than larger businesses?
Did you know...
Where we shop, where we eat and have fun; all of it makes our community home.  One-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of our community?
Did you know....
Small local businesses are our largest employers?
Did you know....
Local businesses often hire people with a better understanding of what they are selling and take more time to know their customers?
Did you know...
Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community and are less likely to leave, and are more interested in investing in the community's future?

So....why not buy what YOU want and not what someone else wants you to buy!

Let's go for a peak at what's happening on State Street, just follow the pointing finger!
