Shop Local, Shop Small: Saturday, Nov. 25 is Small Business Saturday

While the day after Thanksgiving has long been known as Black Friday, a day we brave the big stores and large crowds to find the perfect holiday gifts for our friends and loved ones, an effort has grown in recent years to recognize Saturday as Small Business Saturday — a day that we support local entrepreneurs and small businesses in our community. It has become a holiday shopping tradition dedicated to supporting various small businesses — from an art store to your favorite local restaurant, to your neighborhood comic book shop, to a local boutique — and everything in between!

Started in 2016, Small Business Saturday is now formally recognized by the U.S Senate and all 50 states, providing local businesses the spotlight and an increased opportunity to thrive during the holiday season.

Our Delaware County small businesses — shops, restaurants, and service providers — grow and flourish with the support of our residents. By shopping or dining at local small businesses, residents provide support to their neighbors, help create jobs, and contribute to the local economy.

Led by the Delaware County Commerce Center, the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce and Visit Delco have collaborated to launch “Shop Delco”- a way celebrate and support Small Business Saturday.

We hope you will consider “shopping small” this holiday season and supporting our neighbors and local economy while finding those perfect gifts for everyone on your list!
