“You don’t like anything on local radio/ So you fumble around ’til you land on NPR/ And listen to world news” -Local Natives (World News)
After spending a few years working for Whole Foods (which in my humble opinion is the best market/company to work for), I really grew to appreciate all things local. As a company, Whole Foods knew that in order to grow and sustain, they had to support the community around them. I would much rather support local merchants and projects because they have a bigger immediate impact on myself and the community. So, it is safe to say that my local love runs very deep.
