It’s Black Friday and lots of stores are offering special deals. Many local businesses are offering additional discounts when you use your recently purchased Pella Bucks. Karen Eischen with the Pella Chamber of Commerce reminds us that when you shop local, you not only boost the community’s economy, but that money circulates through our city 7 times on average before leaving, which helps keep taxes lower, and more of our friends and family members employed in the area.
