From bars and barber shops to bike shops, clothing stores, and restaurants, locally owned businesses in the Reno area work every day to earn your trust with quality goods and services. While they are at it, they employ local residents, pay local taxes, and in turn support other locally owned businesses. Supporting locally owned businesses is good for everyone living in the Reno area. Dollars circulate through the community rather than leaving town like they do when we spend at big box corporate stores. Buying local helps create a wonderful mix of small businesses throughout various districts in town, giving us more personal shopping experiences that can actually be enjoyable. Think about it - when was the last time you thought it was fun to be pushed and shoved by crowds and ignored by salespeople (who know nothing anyway) at the big mall or big box store? Ways to Support Locally Owned Businesses in the Reno Area and NevadaNevada Marketplace - This organization features a physical store of Nevada-based businesses selling only things made in Nevada. The project is the work of Reno entrepreneur Dave Asher. The Buy Nevada First Gift Shop & Visitor Center is located in the Reno Town Mall at 4001 S. Virginia Street. If you are looking for a wide variety of Nevada made goods and food products, this is your store. Over 90% of the products in the store are made in Reno. The phone number is (775) 384-3153.
