We love it when businesses work together and it’s even better when they understand that competition is good and can be a tool for encouraging collaboration. A Shop Hop is a great example, one that Chamber member, Amazing Stitches, helped coordinate.

On July 28, shoppers will meet at Amazing Stitches in Emlenton and then proceed by bus to five additional quilt shops, with the chance to meet other sewing enthusiasts and take advantage of prizes and discounts.

In addition to supporting quilting and sewing stores, a Shop Hop offers a positive economic impact on tourism and travel related businesses.

To learn how to participate in the bus trip or learn how your business might benefit from a similar event, contact Dixie Gordon, the owner of Amazing Stitches, at (814) 319-4170.
