The Town of Ashland has launched Buzz Bucks, a year-round discount program to connect the RMC community with the best deals at Ashland’s restaurants, shops, and service providers.

Buzz Bucks helps give RMC students, faculty, and staff a single, convenient source for exclusive local offers. By showing an RMC ID at participating businesses, members of the College community can enjoy savings throughout the year—encouraging them to explore downtown, discover new favorites, and support the businesses that define Ashland’s character.

The list of participating businesses includes over 40 Ashland favorites, including Ashland Theatre, Casa Herradura Family Mexican Restaurant, Origin Beer Lab, and many more.

“Ashland takes pride in being a college town,” said Mayor Steve Trivett. “Buzz Bucks is a year-round welcome mat for Yellow Jackets, and an invitation to be part of our community’s daily life.”

Participating businesses display a Buzzz Bucks window cling, with the trademark triple “z” logo, making them easy to identify. Discounts are set by each business and may change throughout the year, creating fresh reasons for the RMC community to return.

“This program is all about connection,” said Kelly Franke, Marketing & Events Coordinator for the Town of Ashland. “We want students to feel at home in Ashland, and we want our businesses to benefit from the energy, curiosity, and loyalty the Yellow Jacket community brings year-round.”
