Run into neighbors, meet up with family and friends... Emmaus is where people come together.

Did you know: customers are willing to spend 12 percent more to shop on tree-lined streets?
3. Wanna go green? Then go to Emmaus.
Think about it: Emmaus is a great example of environmental sustainability. Plus, simply by shopping here you are supporting reuse of existing commercial space and gaining access to locally-grown, produced, and manufactured items.
4. Emmaus is a friendly place.
Who can resist smiling shopkeepers who know you by name?
5. Head to Emmaus for local flavor.
The best cup of java, your favorite boutique, the perfect sandwich: they’re all in Emmaus.
6. Ever been to a parade in a mall parking lot?
Authentic experiences happen in Emmaus. Concerts in the park, historic theaters, local festivals... the list goes on!

Think farmers markets, cafes, service agencies, boutiques, restaurants, and more.
8. What a great location!
Emmaus is close enough that you can walk, scooter, jog, rollerblade, bike, hopscotch, or sashay to get there.
9.Emmaus is the 
of the greater community.
Spread the love with this thought: non-profits receive an average of 350 percent more support from local businesses than non-locally-owned businesses.
10. Local sustainability.
When $100 is spent in a local business, it generates $68 more in revenue for the local economy. Compare that to a chain store, where only $43 will get re-circulated.
