It’s a day that where people are encouraged to simply
“Shop Local!”
Small Business Saturday is taking place on
November 29th.
Since it was created by American Express back in 2010, it has become one of the busiest shopping days of the year. According to the National Federation of Independent Business, last year consumers spent an estimated $5.5 billion at locally owned stores and restaurants on Small Business Saturday.
The Jacksonville Small and Emerging Business (JSEB) office wants to tell you how you can get involved.
