Customers encouraged to buy local
Carlisle, PA – In conjunction with Giant Food Stores’ ongoing commitment to providing customers with fresh, locally grown products, the grocery chain is encouraging customers to help support local farmers and vendors by buying locally grown. When consumers and retailers purchase products from within their own communities, not only do local companies benefit, but so does the local economy as money and resources stay within that community. In addition, supporting local companies also helps reduce the carbon footprint in the fight against global warming by reducing fuel costs and air emissions to ship products by truck or rail.
