GR FRE AT E IS 2016 LOCALLY OWNED GUÍA DE NEGOCIOS LOCALES E INDEPENDIENTES YOUR GUIDE TO JAMAICA PLAIN AND ADJOINING NEIGHBORHOODS www.jplocalfirst.org HOLA y BIE N V E N I D OS B ienvenido a la cuarta edición de la guía comercial Jamaica Plain Local First (JPLF)! Este año presentamos una guía más completa, conteniendo 175 negocios. En ella encontrará comercios independientes en todas las esquinas de Jamaica Plain. Además, este año contamos con un sitio web dinámico y lleno de información que le ayudará a encontrar negocios participantes donde usted se encuentre. Visite www.jplocalfirst.org regularmente, ya que la guía en línea se actualizará en el transcurso del año. En la calle, los negocios participantes se pueden identificar fácilmente por etiquetas adhesivas en las vidrieras y carteles con imán en los vehículos de la zona. Cuando concurra a estos comercios, no olvide mencionar que los encontró por medio de JP Local First. JPLF es una red sin fines de lucro, que ayuda a comercios locales independientes desde febrero de 2013. Nuestra misión es apoyar, promover y celebrar a los pequeños comerciantes de nuestra comunidad, educando al público sobre los grandes beneficios económicos, ambientales y culturales que se logran con una fuerte económica local. Los estudios indican que de cada $100 que se gastan en un comercio local independiente, por lo menos $48 quedan en la comunicad para circular dentro de la economía local. ¡Es el poder del consumo! Un aspecto único de JPLF es que somos la única asociación comercial que representa los cuatro distritos de JP (Egleston, Hyde/Jackson, Centre/South y Forest Hills) así como a participantes de los barrios adyacentes de Boston. Para animarlo a buscar nuevos puntos de su interés, la guía de este año incluye el Pasaporte a Jamaica Plain, un divertido concurso que consiste en visitar a los comercios asociados de JP. Para mayor información sobre el Pasaporte, vaya a la página 45. Sabemos que se siente a gusto en Jamaica Plain, en parte por el gran número de comercios independientes que hay aquí. Trabajemos como buenos vecinos para mantener la actividad y diversidad comercial de JP. Le agradecemos que sea parte de este movimiento. Atentamente, Kim Mitchell Owner, Boing! JP’s Toy Shop Co-chair, JP Local First David Warner Owner, City Feed and Supply Co-Chair, JP Local First * Texto traducido al español por Carlos E. Calvo HELLO and W E LCO M E W elcome to the fourth edition of the Jamaica Plain Local First (JPLF) business directory! This year’s directory is larger than ever, with 175 businesses. You can turn to this guide to find independent businesses in all corners of Jamaica Plain and adjoining neighborhoods. New this year is a more dynamic and robust website, which helps you find businesses in your current location. Keep an eye on www.jplocalfirst.org because new businesses will be added to the online directory throughout the year. Our members are also identifiable by the window stickers and car magnets that you will see throughout the area. Make sure you mention that you found them through JP Local First. JPLF is a nonprofit network of locally owned and independent businesses founded in February 2013. Our mission is to support, promote, and celebrate our independent business community by educating the public about the significant economic, environmental, and cultural benefits of a strong local economy. Research shows that for every $100 you spend at a locally owned business, at least $48 will stay in your community and circulate in the local economy. Talk about buying power! Compare this to $14 for a multinational chain like Walmart, Whole Foods or Target. A unique aspect of JPLF is that we are the only business association to represent all four JP business districts – Egleston, Hyde/Jackson, Centre/South and Forest Hills – as well as welcome members from adjoining neighborhoods. In order to encourage you to seek out new favorite spots, this year’s directory includes the JPLF Shop Local Passport, a fun contest that invites you to visit member businesses throughout JP. You can find the passport and more information on page 45. We know you love Jamaica Plain, and part of what makes JP so unique is the huge number of fantastic locally owned independent businesses that choose to locate here. Let’s be good neighbors and keep our business community vibrant and diverse. Thank you for being part of the movement. Yours Locally, Kim Mitchell Owner, Boing!

Realizar sus compras en los negocios de propiedad local le permite: 1. Reinvertir dólares en la economía local. Por cada $100 gastados en una empresa de propiedad local, un promedio $48 se reciclan en la economía local, en comparación con las cadenas de tiendas que de $100 solo queda un promedio de $14 a nivel local (la mayoría en los salarios). Las compras locales también son saludables para la economía nacional, ya que distribuyen la riqueza de manera más equitativa y justa. ¿Son las cadenas más baratas? Solo algunas veces, ya que estas invierten mucho dinero en estrategias sofisticadas para que el público crea que sus precios son más bajos que los demás. Además, cuando analizamos el dinero que las cadenas se llevan fuera, comprendemos lo que realmente le cuesta a la localidad. 2. Preservar el carácter único de nuestra comunidad. Las empresas de la localidad de propiedad de nuestros vecinos, reflejan y preservan la singularidad de la zona de JP. Si hacemos nuestras compras en los negocios de la zona, cuyos propietarios son de la localidad, en lugar de hacerlo en las tiendas de cadena, podemos preservar mejor la diversidad y el carácter de nuestro barrio. 3. Crear puestos de trabajo y responsabilidad empresarial. En los negocios locales e independientes, por cada dólar que ingresa, porcentualmente son creados más puestos de trabajo que en las tiendas de cadena. Cuando una cadena de tiendas se muda a un barrio, inicialmente se crean nuevos puestos de trabajo (a menudo con salarios bajos), pero el efecto neto de la región tiende a ser menos puestos de trabajo, ya que las empresas locales pierden los ingresos que absorben las cadenas pero ellas los invierten fuera de la localidad. 4. Apoyo a la sostenibilidad del medio ambiente. Las empresas de propietarios locales de la zona, miembros de JPLF, tienen una mayor capacidad de abastecimiento local, lo que en comparación con las grandes cadenas, representa una considerable reducción del uso de recursos no sostenibles. La deslocalización en las grandes cadenas ocasiona movimiento de mercancías desde sitios remotos, causando un importante impacto ambiental. Los miembros de JPLF entienden las consecuencias de este impacto y por eso prefieren comprarles a los productores, proveedores y prestadores de servicios locales. 5. Fortalecer el tejido comunitario. Las empresas locales independientes ayudan a crear una comunidad más conectada e interdependiente. Los propietarios locales de la zona se enorgullecen de la toma de decisiones empresariales que fortalecen nuestro barrio. En tiempos de necesidad, JPLF es nuestro amigo, de nuestras familias, de nuestros vecinos y por tanto apoyamos plenamente sus actividades. Juntos podemos fortalecer nuestra economía. Apoye a nuestro vecindario y preserve nuestros recursos locales.

When you make your purchases at locally owned businesses, you: 1. Reinvest dollars in the local economy. For every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $48 gets reinvested into the local economy, compared to chain stores which only spend $14 of that $100 locally (mostly in wages). Shopping local is also healthy for the national economy, since it distributes wealth more evenly and fairly. Are chain stores less expensive? Not always, and chains invest a lot in advertising and pricing strategies to make you believe their prices are lower. When you account for the money that leaves the neighborhood, chain shopping starts to be very expensive. 2. Preserve the unique character of our community. Businesses owned locally by our neighbors reflect and preserve the uniqueness of the JP area. If we make our purchases at locally owned businesses instead of at chains, we help to preserve our neighborhood's diversity and character. 3. Create jobs and responsible entrepreneurship. At local and independent businesses, more jobs are created per dollar of revenue than jobs created per dollar at chains. When a chain moves into a neighborhood, new jobs are created initially (often low wage) but the net effect for a region tends to be job loss, as local businesses lose revenue to chain stores. 4. Support environmental sustainability. Locally owned businesses are better able to source locally and lessen transportation impact than chains, which are standardized across hundreds of locations. JP Local First members themselves like to buy from local producers, suppliers, and service providers because they understand the tremendous impact of going local. 5. Strengthen the community fabric. Locally owned businesses make for a more connected and powerfully interdependent community. Local owners take pride in making business decisions that strengthen our neighborhood. And in times of need, it's our friends, families, and neighbors we rely on most. Together we can strengthen our economy, support our neighborhood and preserve our local resources.
