“Not very much. I maybe go into K.C. once a month, but it's usually just for dinner.”
— Craig Voorhees, sales associate, Lawrence
“Very little. Maybe 5 percent or so. If I can find what I need, I will definitely buy it here before I look elsewhere.”
— Stephanie Meehan, counter girl, Lawrence
“Almost none. I can get everything I need here, and I like to support local businesses and avoid big box stores.”
