No matter where you live, it is always nice to support the businesses in your community.

SERVPRO of North Palm Beach County may be a franchise of large corporation, but we are truly a local business and staple in our community. We have had the same name and the same owners for the past 30 years. In fact, we are the only restoration company in Palm Beach County who can make that claim. So, what is it about being a local business? Why are people so inclined to spend their money with the locals?

There are a lot of advantages linked to working with local businesses. The last several years terms like “buy local” and “locally sourced” have grown tremendously in popularity. People like to feel connected to one another and that includes businesses. When a community leans on each other and utilizes each other for their day-to-day needs, everyone wins. As such, people are inclined to work with local businesses by nature.

The following are some of the most notable benefits of working with a local business:

1. Lower costs: as local companies are typically less expensive than their corporate competitors
2. Higher quality: community members care about taking care of one another
3. A chance to connect: walking into a local business means familiar faces and new friends ready to connect with
4. In-person expertise: there is something special and valuable in speaking with a professional face-to-face as opposed to turning to Google for an answer
5. Mutually beneficial: local businesses tend to send each other business, furthering the cycle of buying local

No matter where you live, it is always nice to support the businesses in your community. Seeing a friendly face at a store gives you the comfort of knowing that your money is being spent on something worthwhile. At SERVPRO of North Palm Beach County, we are incredibly proud to be a part of our community. We shop local whenever possible and we love seeing our neighbors all over the county!
