The poll is running 12-1. How many of them use Sprint? Or bought a Garmin?

I support local small business. Applebees sucks. Sprint sucks in KC. I loved Sprint for 7 years in Houston. Moved to KC and calls drop, phones don't ring when called, coverage is spotty. I loathe Sprint in town. I'm guessing the only reason their market share in KC is the same as other markets is because so many employees and contractors utilize the service.
I do shop Owen lumber over Home Depot and Lowes. I very rarely eat at a chain restaurant - always locally owned establishments. |

If I can buy local I will.
If I can support conservative leaning companies I do that too. |

When I had my motorcycles I took them strictly to Smithers. Local shop, outstanding work
I try to buy local when I can. Joslins jewelry is another great place. And The Pen Place (I'm a sucker for fine fountain pens)

Being in the direct mail advertising business I support the companies who support me,some are local,some are national.

Sure, but my definition of local doesn't include national chains.

If anyone is ever in Springfield, MO, and wants to support a local restaurant, Cielito Lindo on North Glenstone is a great, local, family owned Mexican Restaurant.

Those are my thoughts too. I voted "no" in the poll based on what his description of a local business was, but I will usually prefer a mom & pop shop to a big chain when the products are comparable.

Basically I try to give any local company the benefit of the doubt until they prove to be a pile of hot garbage such as Applebee's. Then again in that area I like BBQ anyway so I'm always supporting local! |

You should host the next ChiefsPlanet gathering there. How is the cashew chicken at that location?
