How about a gift card that is good for use at several businesses within a particular community? That’s the idea behind the newly announced Buy Local Bridgman Community Gift Cards. The Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber and the Greater Bridgman Chamber and Growth Alliance say the cards are a way to inject some money into the community as businesses struggle in the pandemic. Unlike a reloadable Visa debit card, this ensures the money spent stays local. It’s also not store-specific, which means it can be redeemed at participating Bridgman merchants. The local businesses signed up to accept the Buy Local Bridgman Community Gift Cards include Haymarket Brewery, Paws to Wash, and Tapistry Brewing, among others. You can buy the cards online at SMRChamber.com/Bridgman.
