What if you made the decision to purchase one product locally?
What if everyone in Greater Franklin County decided to buy their toilet paper locally?
There are 15,000 people in greater Franklin County. The average person uses 105 rolls of toilet paper a year.
Do the math – that one item would keep almost $2 million dollars in sales in our county. It would also generate $140,000 in sales taxes.
Last year it was estimated that the amount actually spent on toilet paper in greater Franklin County was $335,800 – that’s lost revenue of $1,631,244!
We haven’t even covered the fact that revenue spent in local businesses tend to stay in the county. They pay their employees and local taxes, shop for products locally themselves, contribute to non-profit organizations locally and generally support the local community.
