Also be sure to follow and like our Facebook and Instagram pages to tap into our Buy Local #ShopGreaterManlius movement featuring different themes and member business categories every couple of months. We’re lucky to have three Main Streets in our community with the Villages of Fayetteville, Manlius and Minoa, as well as many retailers in between – and many other categories of businesses to serve all of our local needs. Our area has so much to offer and our campaigns highlight the positive impact that buying local and attracting visitors to our area has on our economy. Share our posts with your family, friends, and neighbors to help cultivate a local first mindset and encourage them to #ShopGreaterManlius! Together, we can create a sustainable community for us all.

To help support the #ShopGreaterManlius campaign, we’ve also created a new Facebook group, Shopping Local in Greater Manlius. As a business you will be able to share opportunities, promotions, specials. As a shopper, you can seek recommendations, ask where to find specific items, and explore the many businesses that are in our great community. Please invite your neighbors to join this new group!
