A case study in Midcoast Maine by the
Institute for Local Self-Reliance with the Friends of Midcoast Maine, reviewed eight local businesses in to prove that three times as much money circulates into the local economy of
Midcoast Maine when spent on products and services from locally owned businesses.
The combined total sales in for the eight businesses was $5.7 million, of which 44.6% was spending in the surrounding two counties and 8.7% was spent elsewhere in Maine. The businesses, which employed 62 people all together, funneled their local dollars toward paying employees' wages and benefits; on products and services from other local businesses; and on taxes. In contrast, a big-box retailer in the region circulates only 14.1% of its revenue into the local economy, mostly in the form of wages, while the bulk of revenue earnings returns to the corporation's headquarters or suppliers outside of Maine. This shows that when Midcoast Maine shoppers spend $100 at a local business, it generates $45 in local spending, while $100 spent with a big-box store only generates
$14 in local spending by the retailer.
