“Here’s something else to think about: If every Milwaukeean shifted an additional 10 percent of their year-round shopping and dining from national chains to local businesses, we would create $311 million in new economic activity annually in Greater Milwaukee. This is because independent retailers re-spend two to three times more of each sales dollar locally than their big chain competitors. That’s a pretty staggering statistic.”
