Small Business Saturday celebrates and helps you discover small businesses in your community. Big box stores have Black Friday, your locally-owned and operated small businesses have Small Business Saturday (November 24, 2018). You're shopping small every time you pick up a latte at the corner coffee shop, grab lunch at a local café, buy a new bag at the neighborhood boutique, or catch a show at the town theater. You're supporting the small businesses that make your community vibrant and unique.
