Shop Local: Because Local Matters

When you shop local, you’re doing more than making a purchase — you’re investing in your community.

At Big Frog, “Shop Local” isn’t just a campaign slogan. It’s who we are. Every Big Frog store is locally owned and operated, which means the people you work with live in your community, support the same schools and nonprofits you do, and reinvest locally every single day.

Over the years, Big Frog stores across the country have proudly partnered with schools, small businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations through fundraising programs, sponsorships, and in-kind apparel donations. From spirit wear fundraisers and booster clubs to charity runs, chamber events, and local business spotlights, Big Frog locations are deeply woven into the fabric of their communities.

Thanks to these grassroots efforts, Big Frog stores have helped raise more than $800,000 for local causes over the years — dollars that stayed local and directly supported the people and organizations that make each community stronger.

Through Shop Local initiatives and everyday community involvement, Big Frog has helped:

• Support hundreds of schools, nonprofits, and local organizations & causes

• Provide custom apparel and promotional products for fundraisers, events, and awareness campaigns

• Spotlight and promote small businesses through collaborative marketing and Shop Local programs

• Strengthen local economies by keeping spending close to home

Our Shop Local campaign was created to celebrate the small businesses that make communities vibrant — the shops, restaurants, service providers, schools, and nonprofits that rely on local support to thrive. When you choose Big Frog, you’re not just ordering custom apparel. You’re supporting a local business that actively gives back.

As we look ahead to Shop Local 2026, we’re expanding the ways our stores engage locally — through in-store events, chamber partnerships, business collaborations, and new opportunities to give back. Whether it’s hosting a community event, supporting a fundraiser, or simply helping a local organization show up professionally, Big Frog is proud to play a role.

Because when you support local businesses, the impact reaches far beyond a single transaction.

Shop Local. Because Local Matters.
