Spencer, IA (KICD)– The holiday season may be gone for another year, but the Director of Spencer Mainstreet is continuing to push shopping local after many downtown businesses struggled at the end of 2022.

Nancy Naeve says shopping local in many cases can result getting what you are looking for even faster than with subscription delivery services.

In the event a shopper is having trouble finding exactly what they are looking for, Naeve says just ask because sometimes the business is able to find it even if it is not immediately available in the store.
