STIRLING — SUPPORT OUR INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES!
Next time you’re spending your hard-earned pennies, spare a thought for our wee independent businesses!
For many, that ONE business is their ONLY source of income.
From cafés, shops and restaurants to independent taxi drivers, tradespeople and family-run services — they’re all facing rising costs, insurance, wages, VAT and more!
💷 We all love a bargain, but not every small business can afford MASSIVE discounts!
Take airport taxi runs, for example…
A discounted airport fare might look like a fantastic deal, and who doesn’t love saving a few pounds?
But behind every journey are fuel costs, airport charges, insurance, vehicle maintenance, wear and tear, and the driver’s time.
Some businesses can offer bigger discounts because they operate differently, while smaller independents may simply not have the same flexibility.
That doesn’t mean they’re overcharging — they’re just trying to make a fair living.
And that applies to ALL our independent businesses across Stirling.
CHEAPER DOESNAE ALWAYS MEAN BETTER VALUE!

❤️ Recommend local.
❤️ Choose independent when you can.
BECAUSE ONCE THEY’RE GONE, THEY’RE GONE!
