Bill > SR47

Introduced Session

This Senate Resolution encourages the residents of New Jersey to "Shop Main Street" throughout the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Residents are encouraged to purchase holiday gifts at smaller stores and local businesses on their Main Streets. There are approximately 800,000 small businesses operating in New Jersey, employing an estimated 1.7 million individuals in this State. These small businesses are the backbone of our State, providing services and employment to individuals throughout the State in such varied industries as finance, health care, the arts, real estate, manufacturing and retail, among many others. Small businesses located on the Main Streets of towns anchor those towns and provide a sense of community to residents as well as visitors. The promotion of "Shop Main Street" is intended to promote shopping and increase sales at small local businesses, assisting them to thrive in the competitive marketplace.
