Prescot is once again joining thousands of independent shops and businesses across the UK, in over 100 High Streets, to put on special £5 offers this month.
Across two weeks, shoppers can enjoy £5 deals on everything from food and alcohol to accessories and beauty treatments and more, from tomorrow, February 15, to Saturday, February 29.
Part of National Fiver Fest, organised by Totally Locally, the campaign promotes the message of: "If every adult in Prescot spent £5 per week in their local shops and businesses, instead of online, at a national chain or at the big supermarket, it would be worth £5.6 million going directly into our local economy.
"Which means more jobs, a better high street, a stronger economy & a nicer place to live. Makes you think doesn’t it?!”
Local businesses in the town also took part in the campaign in October last year, which was extremely popular and successful with residents.
Chris Sands, of Totally Locally, said: "We know Fiver Fest isn’t going to change the world.
"But small changes in spending habits can really make a difference to our high streets.
"Just by diverting £5 of our weekly spend to local independents we give them a fighting chance to thrive. It’s a conversation worth having!"
Among the Prescot businesses taking part is The Dance Shop in Prescot Shopping Centre.
Cath O’Grady, of The Dance Shop, said: "The independent shops and businesses are what makes our town special and unique.
"We appreciate it when our community support us, so these offers are to say thank you for that support, and to show just what great value our local businesses are."
