"Double your Bucks" at these participating businesses this week!
What is the Double Your Bucks About?
The “Double Your Bucks” component of the program, offers Los Alamitos residents an opportunity to multiply their Los Al Bucks when they visit participating businesses. The program will feature a rotation of 3-5 businesses each week where residents can essentially double the value of their Los Al Bucks spent. This is yet another way to incentivize residents to spend their Los Al Bucks and support new businesses. To redeem the additional Los Al Bucks, residents will need to visit City Hall during the hours of operation and provide proof of transaction and proof of residency via a Driver’s License, ID or utility bill. For any questions, please contact the Development Services Department at (562)431-3538.

COVID-19 has affected businesses throughout the country with the small business sectors being impacted the most.
