If you’re still in need of a gift, (or two) – consider the “Spend Local, Stay Local” Gift Card. Thirty-nine local retailers currently accept the gift card, ranging from restaurants to auto repair shops; hardware, book, and shoe stores; flower and gift shops; grocery stores, salons and even a theatre (the Prince). The gift cards can be used throughout the year, in any amount between $25 and $500, and make wonderful gifts for teachers, coworkers, neighbors, and holiday hosts. They’re also great for weekend guests…set them loose with a Spend Local gift card so they can explore all our local area has to offer.
It’s not too late to place your order! Cards can be purchased at Chesapeake Bank and Trust’s High Street location. They are in the process of fulfilling orders of over 500 gift cards for local businesses with a total value of over $15,500. These are dollars that can only be spent at our local participating shops and businesses.
It’s also not too late to become a participating retailer. To learn more about the program, visit the website www.chesapeaketrust.com, send an email to [email protected], or call Kristen Wright Owen at 410-778-1600.
