Buy Nearby Weekend 2019 winners announced

Congratulations to the five lucky shoppers who have won $100 gift cards by entering our Buy Nearby Weekend contest!

They were chosen from all those who entered this past weekend, Oct. 4-6, by posting a shopping photo with the #buynearbymi hashtag. The five winners were chosen by a random integer generator app.

It’s all part of Michigan Retailers Association’s shop-local celebration called Buy Nearby, which reminds consumers to keep their money in the Mitten! Michiganders send $18.5 billion annually to out-of-state online businesses. Buy Nearby helps educate shoppers on how impactful their dollars are for local stores, downtowns and communities as a whole.

So think before you click – and Buy Nearby! Visit our Buy Nearby toolkit for digital materials, or request Buy Nearby Guy or a speaker for your business or downtown event.

Here are the 2019 winners:

Chrissy Wilford, Lansing
Vintage Junkies, REO Town Marketplace, Lansing


Juliet Faber, East China
The Craft Loft/Chocolate Harbor, St. Clair
