Why Supporting Local Businesses Strengthens Our Community

Supporting Local: AZ Strong 🌵💪

When you choose to support local businesses, you're doing more than just making a purchase—you're investing in the heart of your community. Local businesses are the backbone of a thriving economy, providing jobs, fostering innovation, and creating a sense of connection that strengthens neighborhoods. At Spinato's, we've seen firsthand how these partnerships can shape a community. As we celebrated 50 years of serving Arizona last year, we're reflecting on how the support of local businesses, loyal guests, and strong partnerships have helped us grow and give back to the community we 💗.

The Ripple Effect Of Supporting Local

1. More Money Stays In The Community

When you spend money at a local business, $0.68 of every dollar stays in the local economy, compared to only $0.05 when purchasing from a non-local company. These dollars are reinvested into other local businesses, creating a positive cycle that supports growth and stability.

2. Job Creation And Economic Growth

Small businesses are major job creators. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses account for 64% of new jobs created in the United States. By supporting local businesses, you're helping sustain and grow employment opportunities for your neighbors and contributing to a more resilient local economy.

3. Unique Products And Personalized Service

Local businesses often offer unique products and services that reflect the culture and personality of the community. This diversity enhances the overall guest experience and adds character to the neighborhoods we call home.

4. Stronger Sense Of Community

Local businesses are more likely to give back to their communities, whether by sponsoring school events, donating to local charities, or participating in community outreach. This strengthens the bond between businesses and residents, creating a sense of belonging and pride that's hard to replicate.

Spinato's: 51 Years Of Community, Partnership, & Gratitude

At Spinato's, we know that our success wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support of our guests and the partnerships we've built over the years. For five decades, we've had the privilege of collaborating with local farmers, suppliers, and businesses that share our commitment to quality and community. These relationships have helped us bring the best ingredients to your table while giving back to the neighborhoods that have embraced us since 1974.

From partnering with Hayden Flour Mills for our signature pizza dough to collaborating with organizations like State Forty-Eight to support local entrepreneurs, we are proud to be part of a network that values quality, innovation, and community impact.

Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

In today's world, supporting local businesses is more important than ever. By choosing to dine, shop, and invest locally, we can continue to build a vibrant and resilient economy that benefits everyone. It's not just about keeping money in the community—it's about creating opportunities, nurturing innovation, and ensuring that Arizona remains a place where small businesses and big ideas can thrive.

As we look ahead to the next 50 years, we remain committed to strengthening these partnerships and continuing to serve the community that has given us so much. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for helping us make a lasting impact—one slice at a time. 🍕
