Birmingham Store Makes Buy Local Statement
For years Tender in Downtown Birmingham Michigan, was a place that my wife spends lots of money. It is a very fashion forward store, that carries the some of the best brands and fashions in Michigan. Again this is what my wife tells me. Well this morning while reading the “The Detroit Blog” they had a post titled “One to Watch: Karen Daskas on Buying Local“. I have a new found appreciation for Karen Daskas now. It is very refreshing to hear a local business owner, who is not only working on staying in Michigan, but also working to make Michigan a better place. In Karen Daskas’s view, we should try to shop at local independent stores, but she takes it a bit further by also stating that if you are going to shop at a chain store, do it in Michigan. Ms. Daskas stated ”Quite simply, if you can’t find it here, it simply doesn’t exist.” I applaud Tender and Karen Daskas for their pride in Michigan, and even better, I am now going to suggest that my wife shop at Tender when she can.
