HUNTSVILLE — A “flexible option” to shop and dine in downtown Huntsville is available for visitors.
The Downtown Explorer Card, a digital gift card to support local food, beverage, and retail businesses, has been launched by Downtown Huntsville Inc.
Developed in partnership with Yiftee, a leader in community e-gift cards, the Downtown Explorer Card provides a simple, convenient way for residents and visitors to shop, dine, and explore the vibrant mix of businesses in the downtown area, according to a news release.
The Downtown Explorer Card can be purchased online and redeemed at participating downtown businesses, with new locations joining the program regularly, the news release said. Customers can use the card as easily as any other credit card, making it a flexible option to enjoy multiple establishments while keeping dollars within the community.
“The Downtown Explorer Card is a wonderful way to support our local businesses and make the most of what Downtown Huntsville has to offer,” said Rob Buddo, president and CEO of DHI. “With this card, we’re making it easier for people to experience our unique restaurants, shops, and venues — all while fostering a stronger local economy.”
The card can be used in businesses until the balance is spent. Its setup is simple and streamlined for businesses, requiring no additional hardware — only a unique code generated through Yiftee’s platform.
“This card is a perfect holiday gift for anyone who loves spending time downtown,” Buddo said. “It’s also a fantastic option for employers looking for unique and meaningful gifts for their team, especially during the holiday season.
“The Downtown Explorer Card is a gift that lets recipients choose their own downtown adventure while supporting local businesses.”
