WHAT’S INSIDE...KEEP MONEY IN OUR COMMUNITY
Did you know that for every $100 spent at locally owned businesses, $68 returns to the community? Keep money circulating right here in the neigh-borhood. What goes around, comes around!
brought to you by:
One of the greatest benefi ts of buying local
is the amazing treatment you receive as a ‘regular’
customer. � ere are so many perks!
• Th at friendly greeting when someone in the
store sees you and calls you by name.
• Th at occasional free appetizer or drink that
you receive….just because.
• Th e ‘inside scoop’ you receive from the em-
ployees about upcoming specials, events and
new shipments or products.
• Th e friendship you form with the person
who serves you regularly. Getting to know
them and what’s up in their life.
• Plus, there’s that feeling of ‘popularity’ you
get when you walk around town and every-
body knows you. You look like a Super Star!
You’re probably a ‘regular’ customer some-
where….but do the stores you frequent know you?
Big box stores might occasionally have a friendly
cashier you start to recognize, but when you think
about it….it’s not been part of our upbringing to
befriend the people we buy from. It’s just not been
part of our culture in the last generation.
Th at is all changing now! Th e world is mov-
ing back to an era where service and connection
rule. � ose who connect best win the game and in
San Elijo Hills, we have the perfect opportunity to
practice!
san elijo hillsCan you name someone you know who works
at Hendo’s, Albertsons, Chevron, A Colorful Uni-
verse, Yogurt Utopia, Hometown Realty, � e Hills
Family Dentistry, PepperTree Hills Eatery, French’s
Nail Salon, Windmill Cleaners, or Postal Annex? If
not, it’s time to start practicing. You’ll be amazed at
the perks that develop after months of really getting
to know the people you buy from and becoming a
‘regular’ customer.
How do you become a good ‘Regular’?
Be Friendly! Make yourself known. Introduce
yourself. Go out of your way to say ‘hi’ and to
ask the person at the counter how they are doing.
Shop frequently so you become a face that is easily
recognized.
Be Interested! Ask questions! Get to know the
store, the products, the services and the people who
work there. Ask what’s new in the store or on the
menu. Learn about how they make things or what
their favorite product is. Find out what’s up and
coming.
Be Helpful! Give feedback. Off er ideas. Give
referrals and recommendations. Ask how you can
help support their business. When you have a
complaint, off er constructive criticism along with a
potential solution.
Be Committed! Don’t give up after the fi rst try.
Connections take time to develop. Just because you
don’t feel that connection right away, stay commit-
ted to making it happen. If you are consistent, you
will be remembered and if you’re always friendly,
interested and helpful, you will be unforgettable!

Hometown Realty is redefi ning the entire concept of a real estate company. � is boutique agency was started by Mary Maloney, an ‘early settler’ here in San Elijo Hills. In fact, when you go in the doors of Hometown Realty, you’re bound to see a neighbor. Many of the staff and agents live right here in the neighborhood. You’ll recognize their faces from serving on the PTO boards or volunteering at community events. Most importantly, you’ll see a hard-working team with a strong commit-ment to service, integrity, honesty and professionalism.
Hometown Realty’s staff includes Transaction Coordinators, a Short Sale Coordinator, a Marketing & Listing Coordinator, as well as a team of highly qualifi ed agents. Hometown Realty even has an offi ce for their preferred lender right on site. Whatever your real estate need, Hometown Realty has the resources and experience to serve you well right here in the neighborhood.
Beyond their cutting-edge marketing and small town values, Hometown Realty has developed a strong reputation for giving back. Always donating, sponsoring and supporting school and other charitable events, Hometown Realty believes in doing everything they can to support the community.

� e Hills Family Dentistry truly represents what ‘community living’ is all about. It is a combination of small town living and big city technology. You would be hard pressed to fi nd any dentist offi ce like it today.
� e Martin family traded in the concept of a big house and a separate dental practice to buy the special unit on the corner of Market Walk. � eir home is on the second and third fl oors, while the dental offi ce is downstairs. With two young chil-dren, Derek and Shelly are able to combine their commitment to fam-ily with their commitment to their clients.
Derek loves what he does. You can tell right away that he gets great joy from helping people ensure healthy teeth and gums and to have the smile they want. By utilizing the latest technology, he is able to provide early intervention and less invasive pro-cedures. It’s actually fun to sit in the chair and talk with Dr. Martin about the choices you have to keep your teeth as healthy as possible.
� e hygienists and front offi ce staff at � e Hills Family Dentistry are equally friendly, gentle, knowledgeable and thorough. � ey take care of the entire family – from toddlers to adults. Services include everything from routine check-ups and cleanings to bonding, crowns, fi llings, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening and more. Th ey have also recently brought in an orthodon-tist, Dr. Fowler, to their practice. If you don’t absolutely LOVE your dentist – you owe it to yourself to stop in and check out � e Hills Family Dentistry.
French’s Nails & Spa is very proud to be part of the San Elijo Hills com-munity. Open for over a year now, French’s has become an integral part of the neighborhood. It is the kind of place where friends gather. Some of the unique things you might encounter at French’s? A group of neighborhood guys getting pedicures while enjoying a nice, cold beer. Or, you might be quietly getting a mani-cure when someone pops in and off ers to buy everyone inside a coff ee from Starbucks. � at’s the kind of fun you fi nd inside the doors of French’s.
Andy Ho is the owner and is very grateful to the community for their ongoing support. He has enjoyed working with � e Hills Family Dentistry – providing pedicures for their customers while they wait for a crown to be made. Andy is also using a San Elijo resident, Casey Meeuwisse, for massage services there in the salon.
French’s prides itself on being super clean and sanitized while pro-viding the best service they can to their clients. Services include: manicures, pedicures, artifi cial nails, waxing, full body massage, facials, children’s manicures & pedicures, and more.
French’s always fi nds ways to give back by supporting our schools through sponsorships or donations to events like the recent Country Fair.

Having French’s Nails & Spa right here in the neighborhood is so convenient. My nails are always done to perfection and I love that I get a bottle of water every time I come in. It’s a great salon. They’re all so friendly and they take great care of their clients.
