As a second homeowner, you have many options available to you regarding where you shop. Do you bring groceries with you or do you make a point to shop locally at Vons and Stater Brothers? Do you buy your home and garden supplies at Lowes and Home Depot or do you shop at Riffenburgh, Butcher’s Block or Eminger’s Mountain Nursery? Do you treat yourself to some of our unique shops when you come to the Valley? These are key questions that have a huge impact on Big Bear’s local economy. It is estimated that 45 cents of every dollar spent on the hill, stays on the hill. Big Bear businesses and residents can often offer unique knowledge about the Valley - from building and painting, to xeriscape landscaping. And as you know, maintaining your second home is usually quite different than maintaining your primary residence. The Big Bear Chamber of Commerce has initiated a shop local campaign called “Shop Big Bear…it makes ¢ents!” Your purchases have a strong effect on keeping our community economically strong and sound, and we appreciate it every time you can spend time at your second home and shop locally!
