Broken Arrow residents will be able to shop local in a brand‑new way this holiday season as the Buy Broken Arrow campaign marks its 30th year and moves to a dedicated mobile app, according to HyperLocal Loop. The digital shift, slated for 2026, is intended to make it easier for shoppers to discover and patronize neighborhood merchants from their phones.
Since its inception three decades ago, the Buy Broken Arrow program has been a staple of the city’s holiday shopping period, encouraging locals to keep their dollars within the community rather than spending at big‑box retailers or online giants. Organizers say the tradition has helped strengthen the local economy and foster a sense of neighborhood pride.
The new app will serve as a one‑stop guide for gifts, dining, and services, allowing users to browse participating businesses, locate storefronts, and receive notifications about special offers. By consolidating the campaign’s resources onto a single platform, the organizers hope to reflect the way the community and its businesses have evolved over the past three decades while preserving the core mission of supporting neighbors.
Adding excitement to the digital rollout, the 2026 campaign includes a shop‑local raffle with a $10,000 prize. Shoppers who make purchases through the app will automatically be entered, giving residents a tangible incentive to choose Broken Arrow merchants during the busy holiday period.
According to HyperLocal Loop, the raffle and the app are designed to keep the holiday shopping experience both convenient and rewarding, reinforcing the message that supporting local businesses benefits the entire community. The $10,000 prize is positioned as a “fun extra incentive” for residents to favor hometown stores over larger competitors.
What’s next: The app will launch in 2026, and the Buy Broken Arrow campaign will run throughout the holiday season, offering shoppers the chance to enter the $10,000 raffle via the digital platform. Residents are encouraged to download the app when it becomes available and use it to explore local gift options, dining spots, and services, helping to keep the city’s economy vibrant during the most festive time of year.
