Many mountain residents enjoy shopping through the Internet so they don’t need to leave the house to purchase needed items, especially now that the snow is beginning to fall. However, they also like to support local businesses as they know small businesses are the backbone of any community.
Now mountain residents can do both with the advent of MountainLakesMall.com. They can buy online from a website of local businesses without ever leaving the comfort of their homes, in poor weather, hot weather, any weather.
When purchased, the items can be shipped directly to their homes through UPS or Fed Ex, like any other online company, or securely to your PO Box for pickup if you are concerned about porch pirates. This is a great way to support your local business owners, who support the local chambers of commerce that help grow the local community.
There are numerous local businesses and various categories of merchandise to choose from with thousands of products at MountainLakesMall.com. They have electronics to outdoor furniture, jackets and water fountains to services. They also have experiences and adventures to book through the mall.
MountainLakesMall.com is the definition of “Shop Local” since it is owned and located in the Crestline/Lake Arrowhead community. “While we are an online marketplace, we’re more than that. We’re your connection to the heart of local commerce. When you shop with us, you’re not just making a purchase, you’re supporting local businesses and contributing to the vibrancy of our community,” said Mountain Lakes Mall owner Robert Fairbanks. All items are shipped directly from their warehouse to your location.
There are numerous categories to search and enjoy once on the website and purchasing is easy. Their Bargain Bin has selections from clothing to fireplace and seasonal accessories, such as a snow shovel with wheels. The discovery of all that can be acquired is astonishing, while still supporting local businesses at reasonable prices. From jewelry to ear warmers to microphones, to computer accessories and astro turf, the variety of items will amaze the customer. Shops such as Bizzyland and Lulubelle’s have storefronts in the mall.
The website MountainLakesMall.com also has a link to mountain webcams and other beneficial links for mountain residents, which can come in handy at all times of the year. They are more than just a marketplace; they are uniting the passionate retailers and entrepreneurs in the mountain communities on a platform designed to reach the new consumer in a unique shopping experience for the area.
Businesses and nonprofits that want to be seen on the platform may also go to the website and contact Robert Fairbanks directly and apply to be included in this fast-growing local sales infrastructure that enables smaller businesses to compete on a level playing field in the Internet sales world.
MountainLakesMall.com is a local online marketplace supporting local small businesses and nonprofits and has become increasingly relevant as the tech world is becoming more and more prevalent in everyday life.
“This mall enables our local businesses the ability to build their own tech infrastructure and meaningfully compete with major corporations,” concluded Fairbanks.
