Holiday Support for Small Business Has Big Benefits

Nestled between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday highlights local merchants and encourages neighbors to patronize stores in their own backyards.

These shops rely on local commerce year-round, but as the holiday retail season kicks off, Small Business Saturday is a reminder of the important role small businesses play in our communities. The day offers an opportunity to support job creation, enjoy friendly service, and discover unique gifts by local artisans.

Beyond supporting local merchants, the sales tax you pay on locally sourced goods helps fund essential public services like fire and police, as well as schools, parks, and infrastructure. That means spending locally positively impacts your community all year. Holidays or not, that’s worth celebrating.
