Shop Small
 
Small Business Saturday is November 25th
 
Small local businesses are the largest employers nationally and create two out of every three new jobs. Small businesses employ more than 52 percent of the nation’s employees. This means that overall more Americans work for a company with fewer than 100 employees than for a large retailer, with more than 500 employees. Small businesses have played a vital role in job creation, adding more than 5.1 million new jobs to our economy since 2003.Buying locally means that employment levels are more likely to be stable, and may even create more opportunities for local residents to work in the community.The Small Business Act defines a small business as “one that is independently owned and operated and which is not dominant in its field of operation.” 
Spending money with local retailers helps keep the local community alive. The
places where we eat, shop, and have fun all have the potential to make a community feel
like home. “One-of-a-kind” businesses are a fundamental part of the distinctive character
and of a community. A community where large chains of shops exceed the number of
independently run small businesses becomes less personal and homogenized, with less
product diversity.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
