It’s pretty simple! Think of it like a discount card, but better. First, check our website directory or ‘Best of the Bull’ app for a list of participating businesses and their offers. When you visit a business just show them the card when you make a purchase (or use the coupon codes emailed to you for online shops).

Yes – Shop Durham Cards can be used as often as you like, beginning on Black Friday of the previous year and expiring on December 31st of the year on the card (ex – 2018 cards are good from Black Friday 2017 through December 31st 2018).

Why Buy Local?

We know that for every $100 spent at a chain store, an average of $13 is reinvested in the community. For every $100 spent at a local store, an average of $68 is reinvested in the community.

That money maintains our schools, paves our roads, employs our friends and neighbors and makes Durham a wonderfully diverse and interesting place to live.

We’re proud to support a number of local nonprofits like Duke Homestead, Scrap Exchange, Hope Animal Rescue, and many more. You can help support them when purchasing a Shop Durham card.
