Going Local

By spotlighting small businesses here in Utah, we can get an idea of how vital they are to Utah economy. We learn that the owners are just like you and me and need support to stay in business. In return, these owners are being innovative in what they are setting their businesses up to be. They are keeping up with changes in technology and styles of retail. We get to know these people in the way they portray the business they worked so hard to create.

This article works well with my research because it mentions the two businesses that got me interested on the topic in the first place, Jane and Groopdealz (now Eleventh Avenue). When I noticed that more and more the clothing I was purchasing came from small local stores, I wondered how much have they impacted the economy around me or if there was even a difference without them. This is how I got the topic of small business  sustainability with and emphasis on the fashion aspect.
