Here in Anoka we are blessed to have a genuine, historic downtown, not a manufactured “Main Street.” This makes us a unique shopping destination within the Twin Cities. We’re real. We’re classic. So how do we stay vital?

The odds are stacked against small businesses. 4 out of 5 don’t make it past the critical 5 year mark. If you want to ensure that the restaurants, boutiques, and mom-and-pop shops you love stay around for a long time, all you have to do is spend your money there–whenever you can, whatever you can. It’s that simple.

Did you know: “For every $100 spent in locally-owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home” (The 3/50 Project).

Think out of the box. Shop out of the “box.” Shop Anoka first!
