I see a lot of push towards shopping local and supporting the local economy. However, the large national brands provide the same product for cheaper and provide more jobs than your local producer. Why should I pay more for an essentially equivilant product?
In: Economics
Because it supports the local economy. National brand stores send the profit back to corporate. Local store owners keep it local because they live there. Ideally it gets spent on other local businesses, building the economy and providing more revenue for public services like roads and such.
