Father’s Day is approaching with only less than 1 week to go and the mission to find the perfect gift for Dad is underway. However, this year, let’s shift our shopping routine by embracing the spirit of community and supporting local businesses.
In an encouraging collaboration, Greg Griffith, CEO of the National Retail Association, joined forces with Tricia from Nextra Toowong on Sunday, 27 of August to champion a cause to uplift small businesses in the lead-up to Father’s Day.
At the forefront of this business are Christine and Leigh, an inspiring mother-son duo who power the engines of Nextra Toowong. Their unrelenting efforts and commitment to their work are nothing short of incredible.
The recent launch was a testament to shed light on the contributions of local businesses that often go unnoticed and the National Retail Association’s continuous support for local retailers is of paramount importance.
Opting to shop locally for Father’s Day gifts can be an investment toward the spirits that drive our communities. These businesses, often designed into the fabric of our localities, bring character and individuality to our shopping experiences.
As we approach this Father’s Day, let’s carry forward the momentum of this movement to “Think Small.”
So, this Father’s Day, as you search for that special something to celebrate the significant father-figure in your life, consider taking a stroll down the local lane. Explore the treasures that local SME businesses offer, and in doing so, gift your dad something truly meaningful.
