One size fits many with Waterbury Bucks

Dec. 6, 2021  |  By Waterbury Roundabout

To promote shopping locally, Revitalizing Waterbury continues its Waterbury Bucks certificate program that offers gift certificates valid to redeem as cash at a multitude of local businesses. 

Available in denominations of $5 or $20, the certificates can be purchased at the RW office upstairs using the rear entrance at 46 S. Main St. (above Waterbury Sports) and also at Bridgeside Books. 

The certificates may be redeemed at face value at more than 60 local shops, restaurants and service businesses.  They offer an alternative to purchasing a gift certificate at just one business, giving the recipient a choice of where to spend them. 

“Not sure if your aunt would like a book or dinner out? Or perhaps you want to say happy holidays to your child’s teacher?,” said Karen Nevin, executive director of Revitalizing Waterbury. “Giving Waterbury Bucks supports our local businesses and can be used in so many ways.”

Businesses participating in the program are listed online here. When a merchant receives a certificate, it’s treated as a check and change can be given if the full amount is not used for a purchase. 

Also during the holiday season through Dec. 22, RW is running its Wrap It Up and Win local shopping program with weekly prize drawings using cards stamped at local businesses
