Sunnyside Shines
A Year After Launch,
the Shop Sunnyside Card
Gives Local Shoppers an Edge
A year after its launch, the Shop
Sunnyside Card program continues
to add value for Queens residents
looking to shop small and keep
their dollars local. A diverse ar-ray
of participating Sunnyside
businesses, including florists,
restaurants, salons, grocers,
and beyond, give cardhold-ers
a powerful incentive to
meet all their shopping needs
locally.
“Studies show that dollar for
dollar, shopping locally owned
small businesses keeps twice the
amount of revenue in the commu-nity,”
says Jaime-Faye Bean, Execu-tive
46 AUGUST 2017 I LIC COURIER I www.qns.com
Director at Sunnyside Shines, which
sponsors the Shop Sunnyside Card
program. “Using the Shop Sunny-side
card to make purchases at
our local businesses, where they
know your name, is one of the
best ways to sustain a healthy,
resilient neighborhood.”
The cards are free upon re-quest,
and are also distributed
throughout Sunnyside and at
Sunnyside Shines events. To
get your card, and to view all
