Dear Local Businesses,

With Small Business Saturday on the horizon, we want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for your role in the Saline Stars program. Whether you are an earning merchant or an earning and redeeming merchant, your participation in this ARPA program has created an economic impact of more than $3.5 million.

Since the program's inception, local shoppers have helped distribute more than $134,000 to redeeming merchants.

Encourage your customers to take advantage of the 50+10 Offer

In honor of Small Business Saturday, we are incentivizing Choose Saline County shoppers to redeem their stars at participating business.

For ONE DAY ONLY, for every 50 stars a shopper redeems, they will get 10 stars in return!

As a reminder, one star is equal to one dollar. So encourage your customers to redeem those stars this Saturday!

Remember, while your customers can earn Saline Stars with every swipe of their card at a local business, the only way to take full advantage of your participation in the Choose Saline County app and to get a portion of Saline County's ARPA funding is to be a redeeming merchant.

Together, let's continue to make a difference in our community. Your partnership is not just about business growth; it’s about weaving the fabric of a strong, interconnected community. We are excited to see what we can achieve together this Small Business Saturday and beyond

For any questions or if you wish to join our growing community of merchants, please contact Melissa McCoy, Saline County Public Information Officer, or Christopher DiGirolomo, Choose Saline County Representative, at 785.833.7597.
