Although shopping locally refers to buying from local surrounding areas, such as farms, meat producers and such, at Prairie Joe’s we buy from Dominicks, Jewel, Super Mercado Morelia, Edgewater Produce, Middle East Groceries, World Market , Restaurant Depot etc. which usually are not considered “local” by the “progressive” crowd. However one doesn’t get more local than that.
True the products all may not be local, the employees are though are very local, and keeping Chicagoans at work is the local thing to do because our survival depends on keeping our local work force employed.
