ROME-FLOYD CHAMBER URGES LOCALS TO STAY AT HOME AND SHOP IN ROME AND FLOYD COUNTY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

The Rome-Floyd Chamber encourages all locals to stay at home and shop in Rome and Floyd County this holiday season; this is more important now than ever.

Jeanne Krueger, President and CEO, says that shopping locally sustains local jobs and supports the business owners who, in turn, support this community.

The Chamber is now highlighting Small Business Saturday, which is coming up this Saturday. It’s an initiative of American Express held every year on the Saturday following Thanksgiving to underscore the importance of supporting local business.

If you don’t feel comfortable shopping in-person right now, reach out to your favorite local business. Many businesses are willing to work with you to help you find that perfect gift and keep you safe, asserts Krueger.

Krueger adds that locals may check out the Business Directory on the Rome-Floyd Chamber’s website at www.romefloyd.com for information on products and services offered by member businesses.
