Alpharetta Retail Month to promote local merchants, charity

ALPHARETTA, Ga.—The Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce and the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau have teamed up to present Alpharetta Retail Month during the month of May 2021. Alpharetta is well known for its shopping scene, and the public can now purchase a retail card to receive 20 percent off the total retail purchase (sales tax not included and limitations may apply) at participating Alpharetta retailers between May 1-31, 2021. The campaign serves two causes. It brings awareness to the importance of Alpharetta’s retail industry and by donating a portion of the retail card proceeds to The Drake House, a local non-profit providing a lifeline of supportive housing and enrichment programs for homeless mothers and their children in north metro Atlanta.
