Introducing: Downtown Dayton Dollars!

December 1, 2016 By admin

SHOPPING! Some love it, some not-so-much… The Dayton Community Development Association (DCDA) has just made your gift giving easier and offers a way to support your downtown. DAYTON DOLLARS are here! Sold in $5 increments, buy as many as you want. They are redeemable for purchases at any participating Downtown Dayton merchant. The dollars act like gift certificates. They can be used for goods and services in participating businesses located in the downtown and can be purchased online and at Dayton Mercantile.

Some ideas:
Think about gift certificates for our restaurants: Archie’s Ice Cream And Eatery, The Barlow Room, The Block House Cafe, Lonestar Bbq Restaurant and Catering. How about wine or wine tasting at Seufert Winery or fun gifts from Dayton Mercantile or Zukasa Mexican Tienda?

Dayton Dollars are valid and redeemable for goods and services at participating Downtown merchants for stated value. Merchant participation and product availability subject to change at any time. Dayton Dollars cannot be redeemed for cash or used to purchase other gift certificates. Dayton Dollars cannot be replaced if lost or stolen. Dayton Dollars cannot be used or redeemed towards previous purchases. No change will be given for items costing less than a full gift certificate. All sales subject to terms of participating merchant.
Dayton Dollars is administered by the Dayton Community Development Association.
