Last year the Shop Local Bonus Program infused about $30,000 into the local economy 

ATASCADERO — The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce will launch the Shop Local Bonus Program for the third year in a row and reward shoppers with gift cards. For every $100 spent in the local community of Atascadero, shoppers will be rewarded with a $20 gift card. This is a unique opportunity to show some local love and give back to the community.

Chamber President and CEO Josh Cross says that the program supports the local economy and community.

“We have a business community that is incredibly supportive of the Chamber and the folks in our community,” he said. “Last year the Shop Local Bonus Program infused about $30,000 into our local economy, and this year we hope to exceed that amount. Now is your chance to give back and be rewarded with a $20 gift card.”

Here’s how the program works: Starting Feb. 1, spend $100 or more at participating local retailers, restaurants, or other food and beverage businesses (excluding grocery stores, gas stations, and big box stores). Save your receipts from your purchases. 

Receipts must be readable and itemized. They also must include the date, name of the business, and full total. Receipts may be cumulative but must be from Feb. 1 to March 31 and equal $100 minimum.

Redeem receipts at the Chamber office at 6907 El Camino Real, Ste. A, Atascadero, or at atascaderochamber.org/shop-local-bonus/. A maximum of two gift cards may be earned per household.
