| Don’t forget to shop local this holiday season |
The holiday shopping season is upon us and we encourage Pearlanders to spend their shopping dollars in Pearland.
Studies have shown that spending a $100 in a city will keep $43 circulating in that community. And…when you shop locally, the Pearland Chamber of Commerce might surprise you with a gift card. They will be giving away $50 gift cards throughout the holiday season to individuals who shop local. Click here for more information. |
