Participating stores in downtown Troy are rewarding customers with a token that can be redeemed at various local businesses during the exciting 'Shop Small, Shop Troy' event. Kicking off this Saturday, the initiative aims to promote local shopping and support small businesses in the community.
Shoppers will receive tokens with every purchase they make at participating retailers, encouraging them to explore and engage with multiple stores in the area.

This initiative not only fosters a sense of community but also highlights the unique offerings available in downtown Troy. Local store owners are enthusiastic about the event, expressing optimism that it will boost foot traffic and sales.
