U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is encouraging all Americans to “shop small” at local businesses and “dine small” at local restaurants and bars as part of this weekend’s Small Business Saturday.
It is set for Saturday, Nov. 26.
“Small Business Saturday is about supporting local businesses, the pillars of economic stability and job creation in communities all across America,” Maria Contreras-Sweet, SBA administrator, said in an agency news release. “This celebration helps bring vital activity into our nation’s 28.8 million independent businesses during the important holiday retail season.”
