For every dollar spent at a locally owned business, four times that amount stays in their local economy rather than with a national retailer. Shopping local makes sure your tax dollars are reinvested in the community. When shopping locally, there is an opportunity to get to know where products came from, who made them and what the passion is behind those products. Owner, Olivia Henrie says she personally feels the value of a product isn’t just determined by what it costs but is more valuable when you know how the product is made, where it’s made, and who made it. Innerspacism prides itself on carrying quality, handcrafted goods that help customers feel confident about purchasing. When you buy from them, not only do you help keep their doors open, you’re helping the local workforce keep the makers employed so that they can keep on doing what they do best— making.
