Small Business Saturday is the shopping day after Black Friday and doing your shopping at small businesses can have a big impact on local communities. By keeping your money local, you’re not only helping local business thrive, you’re keeping our community vibrant and helping our planet by using less gas and logistics. The benefits are all around!
