Shopping Truly Local
For quite some time now we've heard the mantra telling us to shop local, but did you ever think that maybe the current model of shopping local is in fact broken beyond repair?​
​
Let's give you an example.
​
You might decide to pop down to 'Bob's Shop'. It's a local, independent shop after all.
​
Once in there you spend £100 and walk away feeling happy at the money that you've put into the local economy.
​
The thing is that Bob gets most of his stock in from outside the local area - and that's where a large chunk of your money ended up when Bob paid his suppliers.
​
Here at the Derby Heritage Centre every single local creative that stocks their work here is Derby or Derbyshire based.
​
Simply put that means that your money stays truly local.
​
In short it's not just about you - the customer - shopping local wherever possible. It's about us - the shop owners - shopping local wherever possible too.
​
Come to the Heritage Centre and you'll truly be shopping local.​​​
