When you shop locally, you are investing in your neighborhood. When you shop at The Prairie Village Shops, you are experiencing a rich tradition that began in 1948. In an era when many neighborhood shopping centers have been abandoned, The Prairie Village Shops continue to thrive. By supporting merchants and businesses at the Prairie Village Shops, you ensure that you and your children will continue to be served by this wonderful community asset.

When you shop locally, your money benefits your neighbors and community. Shopping locally supports the local economy. Your dollars are recycled to provide wages for your friends and neighbors, and revenue for businesses to invest back into the community. When you shop at a local, independent merchant, 68% of what you spend returns to the community through payroll, taxes, and other expenditures. If you shop on-line, 0% of your money returns to support your community.

When you shop locally, you help maintain and improve local services. Shopping locally supports the community’s tax base that protects your property values and enhances quality of living for you and your family. When you spend your dollars locally, you are supporting public safety, community infrastructure, and neighborhood parks and recreation programs. When residents shop outside the area, the tax base is reduced resulting in reductions in the services we take for granted.

The Prairie Village Merchants are here for you. Our collection of "Extraordinary dining, staples and shops" offer neighborly smiles and plenty of parking. Many shop owners are on-site to help you personally. So whether you need to dash in for a quick item on your way home, or you want to spend a leisurely day browsing with the family – make the Prairie Village Shops your first choice and keep dollars working in your neighborhood.
