Gowell's Shop 'n Save

What is the Buy-Local Loyalty Program at Gowell’s Shop n’ Save? It’s a plan designed to show appreciation to our shoppers by offering discounts on products that are produced locally in Maine. It’s a way for local farmers and producers to sell their goods and make a profit, because Gowell’s Shop n’ Save subsidizes the promotions. It’s a program that’s easy to use. Why is the Buy-Local Program a good idea? Customers benefit! With food prices rising, this is an opportunity to save money by receiving product from local vendors with no additional cost to the consumer. The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted processing, distribution, and all other food costs. Local farmers and producers can market their products without lowering prices. Drought and increased expenses for feed and fertilizer are taking their toll.
