Please support local shops

I am a local shop owner – my husband and I own JJ’s Beach & Board Shop – and I am writing this letter in hopes to get our community to shop Fallbrook.

We realize that things are slow with the economy, but lately it seems downtown is a ghost town! I urge all Fallbrook residents to shop Fallbrook and keep their community alive. Please don’t drive to Temecula or shop online when you can drive a mile or two and help your fellow shop owners. I don’t think people realize how important it is, especially now that they support their local businesses.

Unfortunately, I don’t think a large number of the people even realize what they have here. I just urge you to go “downtown” and see what we have to offer. It may surprise you! Thank you.
