Lakeshore Community Cash has extended its 3% discount!  Purchase over $5,000 in Lakeshore Community Cash and receive 3% savings.  In the past, this discount was only offered during the holiday season, but we have extended the promotion year round!

"We had such a great response to the 3% savings when we offered it during the holidays that we wanted to offer it year round as an incentive for employers to use all the time," says Meg Boertman, the Lakeshore Community Cash Program Manager. "It's a WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN: Employers save money, the program continues to grow and succeed, employees are happy to be rewarded, and merchants have more opportunity to accept certificates.  All of these keep cash in our community and support the local merchants which is the goal of the program!"

Lakeshore Community Cash is a gift certificate program that keeps money in our community and offers Muskegon residents and businesses an easy platform for gift giving.  There are currently over 70 local merchants who accept Lakeshore Community Cash!  Click here to learn more.
