Your Redlands' Hometown Guide
We connect you with the businesses, events, and community stories that make our neighborhoods worth exploring — and supporting.
Our Mission
Locally-owned, independent businesses (our neighbors, brothers, sisters, and friends) are the backbone of our local economy and the foundation of Redlands unique culture. It is our mission to advocate and support local small businesses through the About Redlands network.
We realize the people of our community, organizations, and our local businesses are the most valuable asset we have because of the collective sum of our individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, and talent. Our diversity represents a significant part of our culture and Redland’s achievement as well.
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." — African Proverb
Why Shopping Local Matters
Of every dollar you spend at a local business, 48 cents stay in the local economy. Of every dollar you spend at a chain, 14 cents stay. Of every dollar you spend online, 0 cents benefit Redlands. Zip. Nada.
The money spent in a local business generates 3.5 times more wealth for the local economy compared to money spent in corporate chains. What does that really mean? It equals more funding for libraries, schools, safe and clean water, street paving, sidewalk repair, tree trimming, and police and fire departments.
