Shavano Park coffee lovers rejoice!

New to Shavano Park, Local Coffee provides a neighborhood option to those who prefer local small businesses.

There are plenty of reasons to support locally-owned businesses.  For example, studies have shown that “when a dollar is spent with a locally-owned business, about half stays and recirculates in the local economy, which is twice or three times as much as for chains “(place across the street).  Part of this is because locally-owned businesses are more likely than chains to purchase their supplies and products from other local businesses.  This helps with the carbon footprint.  With the profits going to the owner who lives in the community, the owner spends much of their earnings in the area and pays taxes which stay in the community.  Corporate profits mostly go to national-level management and to shareholders, who are spread out all over the country.  (BigBoxStudies)

When there is a locally-owned business this typically involves local decision-making.  The owner of the business lives in the community, and cares about the interests of the area for which they live.   They are more likely to make local charitable donations because those they interact with on a regular basis are often their neighbors.
