Alton Main Street Announces New "Eat Shop Play Alton" Promotion

ALTON - Alton Man Street is announcing its new Eat Shop Play Alton promotion to support Alton’s locally-owned businesses and help customers find their new favorite places to shop small.

To take part, simply stop by the information booth at the Alton Farmers’ & Artisans’ Market to pick up a free reusable Alton-branded shopping bag. The market is located at the corner of Landmarks Blvd. and Henry Street in Downtown Alton and takes place every Saturday morning between 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. through October 15^th. Customers can then present their bag at all of the stores, restaurants, and service businesses found at www.DowntownAlton.com/EatShopPlay to redeem their perks and special offers through December 31^st.

Shoppers are encouraged to post a photo using their bag at a local business on social media with the hashtag #EatShopPlayAlton for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to any participating business. A new winner will be drawn every month through the end of 2022.

“Alton Main Street is investing $10,000 of the State of Illinois’ small business pandemic relief funding into television and digital marketing for this campaign to target customers in the entire St. Louis metro area and drive them directly into the doors of Alton’s small businesses,” said Sara McGibany, Executive Director of Alton Main Street, adding ”Check out our segment on Channel 4’s Great Day St. Louis on our Facebook page: www.Facebook.com/AltonMainStreet.”
