“Accepting the Northampton Gift Card at Strada is my favorite benefit of investing in the GNCC. It is always a happy time at the register when one is used as payment. The customer will share their gratitude for someone who has granted them permission to treat themselves by giving them a Northampton Gift Card. Their happiness is contagious and everyone in Strada will join in the fun with a cheer of ‘Congratulations’ or ‘Happy Birthday!’ We appreciate that the Northampton Gift Card keeps money in our community, and it’s always a pleasure to be a part of the celebration.” — Anna Bowen, Owner of Strada Shoes
