ENGLEWOOD, Colorado – The City of Englewood is encouraging residents and visitors alike to support local businesses using a new app.

Explore and Reward Network (EARN) is free to download and allows users to earn rewards for every purchase at select businesses in Englewood. From restaurants, cafes, liquor stores and breweries to an art gallery and pet supply store, the city hopes this app will encourage people to shop in the community and keep money circulating in the neighborhood.

When you shop at one of the participating stores via the app, you will receive 5% cashback.

Vanessa Davis, marketing manager for the city of Englewood, told Denver7 that there are over 150 non-franchise, locally owned and operated businesses in Englewood.

“We love our small business community, and it’s what makes Englewood such a unique place to visit and live,” Davis said. “We want to see them continue to thrive. We want that money to stay in our local economy.”

When you link your card to the app, you’ll automatically earn rewards. To redeem your rewards, simply make another purchase at one of the participating stores and receive cashback.

You can find the app on the City of Englewood website. Just search for EARN. You can also download it from the App Store under “Open Rewards: Shop Local”.

The EARN app is free for users and businesses, with the City of Englewood covering the cost.
