Think Small: 10 Local Businesses You Should Know
We're celebrating Small Business Saturday with a look at the people who shape our neighborhoods with their hard work.
Patch and American Express are celebrating local small businesses and the people who own and operate them — the heartbeat of our communities — as we near Small Business Saturday.
What is Small Business Saturday? Founded by American Express in 2010, this day is celebrated every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's a day set aside to honor the businesses that build our economy and bring character to our neighborhoods. We encourage you to patronize local small businesses every day, and Small Business Saturday in particular as a show of support for our local merchants.
Here are 10 local businesses you should get to know. We'll share more in the coming weeks.
