As all indie retailers know, the growth of the economy relies heavily on the success of small businesses. And when we buy products that are made in the U.S., not only are we helping the business from whom we purchased the product, but we are also helping the manufacturer and everyone working there to keep their jobs.
It’s important for both indie retailers and consumers to help bring our economy back to life, and we’ve got some awesome made in the USA products for the month of August! Whether you’re looking for something a little different to add to your made in USA section or you’re just starting to dabble in this category, here is some new merchandise to liven up your store:
