Shopping local critical to our future

In Canton we are truly fortunate to have so many great locally owned businesses and services to meet all of our day to day needs and their future depends on people staying in Canton to shop.  

In most cases, there’s no need to drive to a nearby city when Canton has just about anything you need, and the best place to start choosing where to shop for local goods and services is YOUR local chamber. 

The Canton Texas Chamber of Commerce has made it a top priority to brand all of our member businesses with a sticker on the front door of their location. This makes it easy for consumers to see that the business supports the chamber and they are part of this local business community encouraging people to SHOP LOCAL. 

We want all of our members and their businesses to prosper and to promote their trust in us as we do in them. We want shopping local to be an everyday thought and not just a “Small Business Saturday” once a year campaign. 

Without all of our local businesses, Canton would not be the same as it is today. We are lucky enough to have First Monday to drive thousands of people our way one weekend of the month and have just about anything we could possibly need at our fingertips. The reality is that Canton businesses depend on customers every week of the month and it is important for people to stay at home to shop.
