$20 on the 20th – Support Local Businesses!

The Salisbury Post is spearheading a campaign for consumers to spend $20 on the 20th to support their local businesses.  In addition to their recent editorial and article, you’ll also see advertisements from local businesses for the specials they are running for tomorrow.

Some members of the Kannapolis Business Alliance are also running some promotions to encourage spending dollars locally:

• Bruster’s Ice Cream – running a 20% off coupon
• Cannon Pharmacy – running a 20% off coupon and $20 Cannon Dollars to transfer Rx
• Fall’s Jewelers – Personality Jewelry charms only $20 on the 20th
• Kilby’s Florist
• Plaster Creations – running a 20% off coupon and 2 items under $20
• Southern Charm – running a 20% off coupon
• Wallace Furniture
• Wiggles & Giggles Consignment
• YogaMoxie Studio – 2 Yoga classes only $20, plus coupon for 10% off 6-class purchase with 2-class purchase

Keeping your consumer dollars with locally owned businesses means that you are supporting the community’s small businesses and entrepreneurs, helping to create local wealth and jobs.

Kannapolis Business Alliance

The Kannapolis Business Alliance is a new group that has formed to support business growth and community needs in Kannapolis. It was formed by three Kannapolis business owners: Dacia Cress of Yoga Moxie Studio, David DePompa of DePompa’s Comfortable Foods, and Steven Blinsink of Armor Insurance. At last night’s meeting, members voted in two new board members: David Miller of American Property Managers, and Tim Mueller with the Kannapolis Intimidators.

The group is keeping abreast of various events and activities happening in Kannapolis and participating where appropriate. For example, they are working with the Cabarrus Events Association to use Kannapolis businesses where possible for the events that CEA puts on in Kannapolis. KBA will develop a more detailed work plan over the coming months.

KBA meets the 3rd Thursday of each month at 5:15pm. You can find updates on their Facebook page (look up “Kannapolis Business Alliance”) as well as their website.
