How do you show love to local Reno businesses?
Yelp Reno and Reno Loves Local ran a #RenoLoveLetter contest, and we got fully into the spirit of it, writing love letters about businesses we have worked with as Pitch Black and places we are customers at ourselves. It opened our eyes to how much we love this Biggest Little City, and how much we want to see its community grow without the big box stores coming in and eating us all.
Reno Loves Local is a community outreach campaign built to encourage support for local businesses. Will you take ownership over the livelihood of our community? Shop local today, and save Reno’s tomorrow.
