Keep It in the Cro
Investing in the Businesses That Invest in Us
Every dollar spent locally has a story.
It might help a family-owned restaurant hire another employee. It could allow a local retailer to expand its inventory. It may help a small business owner sponsor a youth sports team, support a local fundraiser, or reinvest in the community they call home.
That’s why the City of Carencro and the Carencro Business Association are proud to introduce Keep It in the Cro, a community-wide initiative designed to celebrate and support the businesses that make Carencro such a special place to live and work.
Launching in May, the month-long campaign encourages residents to shop locally while giving participating businesses an opportunity to thank customers through exclusive discounts, special offers, and free gifts. It’s a simple idea with a meaningful impact: when we support local businesses, we strengthen our entire community.
A Win for Businesses. A Win for Carencro.
Businesses participating in Keep It in the Cro will receive:
• A Keep It in the Cro window decal to display their participation.
• A featured listing on the City of Carencro’s Keep It in the Cro webpage.
• Additional recognition on the Carencro Business Association website for CBA members.
• Daily social media spotlights highlighting participating businesses and their special offers.
By bringing attention to local businesses throughout the month, the campaign creates new opportunities for residents to discover shops, restaurants, and services they may not have visited before.
Why Shopping Local Matters
Local businesses do more than provide products and services.
They create jobs.
They sponsor local events.
They support schools, churches, nonprofits, and youth organizations.
They help define the character of our community.
Every purchase made in Carencro helps keep those dollars circulating here at home, creating a stronger local economy and helping ensure our businesses continue to grow alongside our city.
As Carencro continues to welcome new residents and businesses, initiatives like Keep It in the Cro remind us that growth isn’t only about attracting what’s next. It’s also about supporting the people and businesses that have helped build our community from the beginning.
Join the Movement
If you’re a Carencro business, we’d love for you to participate.
