Pledge to support Tigard's small businesses: Don't shop at the Tigard Walmart!

I Pledge to support Tigard's small businesses. I WILL NOT shop at the Tigard Walmart, and instead I will buy at locally owned and operated businesses in the city.

Why is this important?

A Walmart SuperCenter Store is scheduled to open in Tigard, Oregon in the Fall of 2014. We're looking for 1000 Families who will Pledge NOT to Shop at Walmart, and will instead commit to spend their money at locally owned businesses.

Small Businesses Are The Cornerstone Of Every Community, And Tigard Is No Different. Small Business owners are Our Friends And Our Neighbors. They support our schools, soccer and little league. And while running their Businesses, they buy goods and services from other Locally-owned businesses in the community, further supporting our local economy.

Large Big-Box Stores, And Especially Walmart, Represent A Threat To Our Community Businesses. We Need Our Small Businesses To Thrive. Tigard's Future Depends On It!

Please Take The Pledge, and show your support for locally owned businesses!
