Small Business Saturday
In an effort to support these local places that make our communities strong, American Express launches Small Business Saturday on the Saturday after Thanksgiving — hoping to help bring more holiday shopping to small businesses. Small businesses play a key role in helping communities thrive. By shopping or dining at your favorite local places throughout the year, you’re showing your support for small businesses and making a positive impact in your community. Small Business Saturday is held annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year, you can celebrate the big day on November 25, 2017
Shop Small is about more than just shopping at small businesses. It’s a cause that helps to support local economies and promote vibrant, diverse communities. It’s also a nationwide movement fueled by shoppers, business owners, and organizers who come together and celebrate the community because they know it matters. So get out there and support your small businesses! The Chamber supports local small businesses, and this holiday season, you can too!
