General Info

Did you know when you buy local, the money stays local? Spending more money locally and at local businesses means that more jobs will be created in your town or city. Not only are you helping your community prosper, you are also helping your community provide greater opportunities to connect with one another because you are supporting your neighbors. From the farmer down the street, to the mechanic who works on the farmers machines, to the provider who insures the mechanic, to Santa Fe Office Interiors who furnishes the insurance provider, operating a locally owned business means looking beyond the bottom line and at ways to help each other thrive, as a community. The New Economics Foundation, an independent economic think tank, compared buying produce at a supermarket to buying produce from a local farmers market or community supported agriculture program and discovered that twice the amount of money stayed in the community when consumers bought locally. But buying local is not simply about a current trend or movement, it goes deeper into a conviction and commitment to your community and the idea that businesses and residents are what make the greater Kansas City area unique all its own. Since our start in 2005, Santa Fe Office Interiors has been a pillar in historic Overland Park, Kansas providing businesses a local and affordable alternative to creating functional and attractive office spaces. Since 1985, owner and operator, Jim Lust, has been working in the office furniture and design industry as an expert who helps business owners large and small save money. By supplying financially affordable options for new and pre-owned office furnishings, Santa Fe Office Interiors is helping businesses keep their money so it can be invested back into their business to help it run successfully, hire local employees and continue to contribute to a growing and sustainable community. Jim cares about where the dollar goes more than making top dollar.
