Shop Locally in Fayetteville on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 24

Small Business Saturday is on Nov. 24 this year, two days after Thanksgiving. It is a day for everyone to support the small businesses that their community thrives on.

American Express founded the day in 2010 to help small businesses get exposure during the holiday season, when they might be otherwise overlooked. With retailers buzzing around the holidays, it is important to support local small businesses that rely on their neighbors in order to continue prospering and building the local economy in Fayetteville.

Last year, 100 million people nationwide participated in Small Business Saturday by shopping at locally owned stores to help boost the economy and their communities.

You can find local businesses to patronize on the Small Business Saturday website or in the Fort Bragg Patch business directory. You can also “like” Small Business Saturday on Facebook by visiting www.facebook.com/shopsmall.

Shopping on Small Business Saturday is the perfect way to give back to the businesses you know and love in the Fayetteville area.
