However, in the heart of Concord, New Hampshire, there’s a vibrant celebration of local businesses that embody the spirit of togetherness and personal touch—welcome to Spread Joy, Shop Concord.
This annual initiative, a collaborative effort between the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, Intown Concord, and NBT Bank, N.A., serves as a rallying cry to celebrate and support local enterprises. It's not just about commerce; it’s about stories, the beating heart behind each storefront, and the community that thrives on these connections.
