Good Community Starts Here.

Shop Shawnee

With the growth in the number of new businesses in Shawnee, those of you living and working in the community have additional business and services to choose from. This, in turn, generates additional tax dollars to support the many needs of our fast growing city. As our businesses prosper and hire more employees it puts more dollars back into the local economy.

We ask you to invest in your local community and "Shop Shawnee." Some of the benefits of supporting local businesses include:

 
1) Sales tax revenue helps provide many great services for the residents of Shawnee. Each dollar of sales tax revenue the City receives is used as follows: 49¢ for public safety, 25¢ for public works, 13¢ for parks & recreation, and 13¢ for general government.
2) Supporting local businesses helps maintain a healthy local job market and ensure future business growth.
3) Local businesses give back to the Shawnee community - through sponsorships, donations and volunteering.
4) It's convenient to shop locally - stores are nearby and easy to get to.
5) The selection is excellent and the prices are competitive. You have a wide variety of stores to choose from, including unique specialty shops and larger retailers.
