Local Retail Partners
We Back Local!
When you shop with local businesses, you’re doing more than just ticking things off your to-do list — you’re fuelling a local economic cycle:
local jobs → local economy → local community → local businesses.
Rinse and repeat. It’s the circular economy, and it’s our jam.
The alternative? Big, faceless corporations that don’t know Leixlip from Letterkenny, or Edenderry from Ethiopia. They certainly don’t sponsor the local under-10s or help our local groups and societies. We’re proud to champion local businesses because they’re the lifeblood of our towns, and when our members support them, everyone wins.
You can also see how member borrowing supports community programmes across Kildare & Offaly in our annual Community Impact figures.
