Putting Things Into Perspective: Coffee Shop Owner Asks Customers To Keep It Local

With not one bad review in sight, it mightn’t look like the guys at Grounded Espresso Bars need any extra help getting customers in, but they still have an important message to convey.

The owners of the popular Grounded Espresso Bars in Newry have written a message for its customers on its blackboard. It reads:

When you buy from a local business you are not helping a MD buy a third holiday home…

You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little lad get a football top, a mummy and daddy put dinner on the table, a family pay the mortgage or a student pay for uni!!

Our customers are our shareholders and they are the ones we strive to make happy

Thanks for supporting our small business!!
