Downtown Dollars Downtown Dollars can be used at any participating Downtown Salisbury restaurant, store, or spa!

You can purchase Downtown Dollars from the DSI office at City Hall, 217 S. Main St., Salisbury NC 28144. If you would like to order more than $20, please call 704-637-7814 at least two hours ahead of pickup.

Downtown Dollar vouchers can be used at any participating business in the place of cash and then are turned into DSI for a full cash exchange.

It is a simple process that connects DSI with our town’s merchants in an effort to promote the flow of money through the local economy with something simple and fun for the customer.

Downtown Dollars will have an expiration date depending upon the group or individual receiving this downtown-specific monetary substitute. For example, if a group is visiting for a conference consisting of only a day or two, those dollars may be limited to the dates the attendees are in town. Other expiration dates could be three months or six months, but no longer than 1 year from issuance.

Downtown Dollars are non-refundable, non-transferable, and they cannot be reissued.

Businesses are NOT required to give change for Downtown Dollars. Despite how much is spent by the customer, the rest of the money goes to the merchant to ensure all revenue generated by Downtown Dollars stays local.

Businesses save the Downtown Dollars vouchers and turn them into DSI at 217 S Main Street. DSI will process them and give the business a check. Note: We cut checks on the 15th and the end of the month, so it is possible that it could take two weeks to receive your check.
