Love Downtown PG – Downtown Prince George

Everything gets better with a little love.

When you shop at an indie business, everyone wins. Love Downtown PG is about making it easier to shop small first. Love Downtown PG aims to capture and promote the collective spirit of our retailers and ultimately do away with oft-heard comment, “What a great place, I had no idea it was here!”

Did you know?

For every $100 that you spend locally, up to $48 stays in our community, as compared to just $14 when you shop at a big box or chain store, and keeping our dollars circulating locally is key to the economic health of our community.

Love Downtown PG is a program designed specifically for locally owned and independently operated retail services and shops in Downtown Prince George. Presently, we have over 57 Downtown Prince George businesses signed up, you can find these businesses and their stories at www.LoveDowntownPG.com

You’ll also want to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and on Twitter at @LoveDowntownPG .

The Love Downtown PG project is made possible through funding by Northern Development Initiative Trust in partnership with Downtown Prince George . You can check out other northern communities websites at Love Northern BC.
