Time Flies!
Wow! How time flies! It's been almost a year since I've posted here. There has been lots of exciting things happening around Parsons in the past year. The most exciting thing for me, is that Steve's Lock Out & Smelly Good Stuffs moved to a bigger and better location! See what supporting local businesses does! It helps them grow so they can have more of the stuff you like to buy!
Smelly Good Stuffs has expanded and is now carrying tye dye t-shirts and wall hangings. Steve's Lock Out has a larger variety of personal security products. Steve also is selling paint ball supplies and filling CO2.
Stop by and check out the new things and let them know you found them on Keep It Local Parsons!

Shop with Mom & Pop
No, I'm not talking about getting your parents and going shopping. For some of us I know that isn't even remotely possible. I'm talking about shopping at the locally owned businesses in Parsons. They are the backbone of your community. They are what keeps Parsons on the map.
From my personal experience I know that shopping a local merchant, even though I may pay a smidgen more than I would if I shopped elsewhere, is very rewarding. On most occasions I am on a personal basis with the store owner. Why? Because I shop there and support my local Mom & Pop shop frequently. Almost all the local merchants are happy to help me find products, answer my questions about products, show me what's new since the last time I was there, take my suggestions and provide me with products they don't normally keep in stock. I am a part of their business because I shop there.
Have you looked around you? Do you know what Local Parsons businesses have to offer?
To date we have 19 categories of locally owned businesses listed. I bet if you looked closely at what these merchants offer.....you could find a lot you could shop locally for.
Keep in mind that Keep It Local Parsons is a work in progress. We're still adding merchants. We haven't gotten them all listed yet.
