As December unfolds, the festive spirit is all around us, and there’s no better place to tap into that warmth than the City of Broussard. When you buy local this holiday season, you’re doing far more than wrapping up gifts, you’re investing in your neighbours, your city, and Broussard’s future.
In Broussard, local businesses are the backbone of our community. When you spend your holiday budget at one of our many independent shops, boutiques, restaurants or services, a meaningful portion of each dollar stays in our local economy. That means better streets, stronger schools, enhanced community services, and more resources to support the businesses that support us.
Shopping locally is a win-win. Local businesses in Broussard not only deliver unique and personal service, they also give back to the community in ways that major chains simply cannot match. They hire our neighbours, they invest their profits locally, and they help create the type of town we all want to live, work and thrive in. Plus, in an era of online purchasing and out-of-town retail giants, choosing a local business means the tax revenue stays here, supporting city infrastructure, public amenities and community programs.
This holiday, take a moment to stroll through Broussard’s retail corridors with your family and friends. Discover one-of-a-kind gifts crafted by local artisans. Land in a cozy café for a little holiday cheer. And in every purchase you make, remember: you’re not just buying a product, you’re making a choice for Broussard. You’re standing with your neighbours, supporting the small-business owners who add character to our streets, and helping our city shine.
At the BEDC, we remain committed to nurturing the economic growth that makes Broussard special: growth that is smart, inclusive and community focused. By choosing local this holiday season, you’re participating in that vision and helping to pave the way for a vibrant future for our city.
So this December, let’s celebrate together, let’s shop local, support our community, and keep the holiday magic alive here in Broussard.
From all of us at the BEDC, we wish you a joyful holiday season, and we thank you for being a part of what makes our city great.
