Shop Small comes to nation this Saturday
On Nov. 25 Americans are encouraged to shop small by taking part in Small Business Saturday – a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities.
This year, small businesses need community support now more than ever as they navigate, retool and pivot from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Kick off the 2023 holiday season by supporting our nation’s nearly 32 million independent businesses this Small Business Saturday and all holiday season long.
Founded by American Express in 2010 and officially cosponsored by the Small Business Administration since 2011, Small Business Saturday has become an important part of small businesses’ busiest shopping season. The Bowie Chamber of Commerce and Bowie Community Development Board encourage you to shop at home this holiday season.
