Shop Locally. It Makes a Difference.


Dollars spent in Jewell help our community prosper. We all need to be reminded about spending money at home for merchandise and services. Items may sometimes cost less in larger town, but think of the REAL PRICE: Longer travel time, frustration while trying to find your item, sales associates who don't know you or your needs, hassles or red tape when making returns, placing orders, or writing a check. Money spent in Jewell goes for wages, utilities, taxes, church support, school projects, donations to community organizations and events, plus much more! Money spent in Jewell circulates throughout the economy, assuring that city services are top notch, property values stay high, and opportunities for further growth are available.
