Shop Local, Give Local In Flagstaff
This November Bookmans stores across Arizona ask customers to be a part of our Shop Local, Give Local campaign. As all six of our entertainment exchanges partner with local commerce in our communities with the intent to promote shopping locally this and future holiday seasons. Bookmans Flagstaff has actively reached out to our friends in the form of book signings with local authors and partnering with Flag staple businesses like Animas Trading Co. It’s simple to shop and give locally. All you have to do is get out there and SHOP! Before fighting crowds at the mall and major retailers, take part in the experiences awaiting you in your own backyard. To help you get started, Bookmans Flag compiled a list of some of our favorite local businesses in this mountain oasis. From buying gifts at the Old Town Shops to getting drinks exclusively brewed in Arizona at The State Bar, this town is full of opportunities to support Flagstaff’s and Arizona’s local economy.
