Menifee Passport Shop Local Campaign Goes Digital

Calling all explorers! The City of Menifee is partnering with local businesses to launch the Menifee Passport Shop Local digital program to promote the importance and benefits of shopping and supporting local businesses during the holidays. The campaign runs through December 15, 2022, offering a fantastic way to discover new businesses and show appreciation towell-established favorites!

This year, the Menifee Passport Shop Local digital program is partnering with Bandwango, an online platform many residents are already familiar with thanks to the Menifee Taco Trail. Signing up is FREE for participants and is available via QR code at any participating locations, or by visiting www.menifeebusiness.com/MenifeePassport. After downloading, participants can scroll through available discounts and promotions at participating locations. Found something you love? It’s as easy as “stamping” your digital Passport. to shop, save, and support local.

Participants can become First-Class Menifee Travelers by visiting every location on the Passport. As participants check in at locations across the city, they will be entered into raffles to win Menifee swag. Our First-Class Travelers will also have a chance to win one of two Beach Cruisers, donated by mom-and-pop business, Menifee Bicycles, Inc.

“Our Menifee Passport Shop Local digital program encourages residents and visitors to spend locally this holiday season,” said Menifee Economic Development Director Gina Gonzalez. “Many of our local businesses are owned by those living in the community, and support of Menifee’s business gems also represents an investment in our growing community’s future by providing revenue for vital public safety services and infrastructure needs.”

By supporting Menifee’s local businesses, residents are helping ensure that nearly .70 cents of every dollar spent in the city stays in the local economy.

Some of the participating businesses include Blitzer’s Premium Frozen Yogurt, Breakfast House Los Tejabanes, Bushfire Kitchen, Cherry Hills Golf Course, Clever Fox Escape Rooms, Giovanni’s, Gracie's Lunchbox, Joyful Noise Coffee, Kahoots, Keller's Jewelers, Los Jilbertos Taco Shop Menifee, Melody Thai, Menifee Bicycles, Inc., Menifee Car Wash, One Stop Lube & Oil, Painted Earth, Salon Creations, Savage Chef Bar & Grill, The Breakfast Club of Menifee, and Yellow Basket (this list is subject to change).
