Survey Says Many Nebraska Shoppers Spending Holiday Dollars Locally
December 20th, 2018
Results from a recent survey by First National Bank showed where Nebraskans spend their holiday money and how this can impact local communities, reports Allison Mollenkamp for NET News.

So I think in that regard people are very confident to shop here, because it’s supporting their neighbors instead of larger corporations,†says Kendall Kloster, store manager for Made in Omaha.

Will this new policy, which further levels the playing field between brick and mortar and online stores, change the trend of local shopping?
