The owners of our locally owned stores face the same daily issues we face. They have been hit hardest in the last almost two years. Some have had to close their doors. Others have lost employees. Our local retail owners are our friends and neighbors. It is so important for us to support these “mom and pop” shops. The dollars spent here, the taxes paid here stay in Seguin. Every locally owned store here in Seguin has unique, sometimes one of a kind, merchandise. There’s no waiting for shipments to arrive at loading docks to be trucked to warehouses for distribution. From frames to jewelry to handmade gifts from the local craft store to unique clothing and one of a kind earrings….yes! Seguin has it! This Holiday Season remember Shop Local, Shop Small!
