Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and economic decline, many local businesses have faced hardship. In efforts to maintain a robust local economy, we encourage you to Think Lloyd First.

What is Think Lloyd First?

Originating with the Lloydminster Chamber of Commerce, the Think Lloyd First campaign aims to keep local money circulating in the community.

10 Reasons to support shop locally:

1. Lloydminster businesses invest in our community

  • Help keep the monies made in the community, in the community! By supporting local businesses, you are promoting and benefiting the local economic state.
  • Local businesses are owned or managed by people who live and work in our city, raise their families and invest in its future. They support our schools, charity initiatives, non-profits and other organizations.

2. Convenience

  • Shopping locally saves you time and money. A shopping trip outside of Lloydminster costs you for every kilometre you drive. Pocket your savings and spend it on yourself or your family in other fun ways!

3. Encourage economic development

  • Something wonderful happens when local businesses thrive. It attracts more businesses, creates an excellent business culture, and improves the selection offered right here in Lloydminster.

4. Money spent here stays here

  • When you support Lloydminster businesses, more of your money remains close to home, supporting the parks, programs and services, recreational amenities, the library and other things that make Lloydminster a great place to live!

5. Friends and neighbours

  • Lloydminster businesses are staffed by local residents—your friends and neighbours. You get better service from those you know.

6. Keeps prices competitive

  • When you shop in Lloydminster, the sales volume of local merchants goes up. With reasonable returns on their investments, the local merchants can keep the prices very competitive with the bigger centres.

7. Go green

  • Shopping locally reduces your gas consumption. Think green and lower your pollution emissions

8. Keep dollars in Lloydminster’s economy

  • Every dollar spent in Lloydminster will recirculate approximately three more times before leaving the community, whereas money spent outside the community is gone forever.

9. A wealth of education

  • Lloydminster education means an incredible opportunity for everyone. Lloydminster offers affordable options, a friendly community atmosphere, and a chance to connect with our community.

10. Businesses support one another

  • When businesses support one another and look to the local market for supplies, Lloydminster’s community and economy benefit.
