New gift card program will help residents support downtown Burlington businesses

If you’re looking for a perfect gift for that hard-to-buy-for person in your life, the Burlington Downtown Business Association might have the solution.

How about a gift card that can be used at any of more than 60 downtown shops and businesses?

“After a challenging 24 months for businesses in our community, now is the time for recovery and for our community to pull together and help us support our downtown retailers, restaurants, salons and spas,” said Brian Dean, executive director of the BDBA.

“By purchasing the Burlington downtown gift card, residents can show their commitment and support to our small business community. The gift card gives them access to a wide range of businesses, including those that have been hardest hit by the pandemic, such as restaurants, spas and fitness providers. The gift card unlocks our downtown’s products, experiences and services.”

Dean said the BDBA is hoping to work with larger businesses and corporate organization who he hopes might use the cards as part of employee or volunteer recognition programs.
