Support the shops that support your community.

Small Business Saturday is right around the corner, and it’s more than a day of holiday shopping; it’s a chance to fuel our local economy, support homegrown dreams and find gifts that actually mean something.

Launched in 2010, Small Business Saturday has become a national movement that generated over $22 billion in spending in 2024 alone. And when you spend $100 at a local business, about $68 stays in the community, compared to just $43 at a chain store.

How to support:

Grab brunch at a neighborhood café you’ve been meaning to try.

Pick up unique holiday gifts from local boutiques and makers.

Leave a Google review for your favorite small business.

Bring a friend and make it a “shop and stroll” Saturday.
