“Small Business Saturday” was founded by American Express in 2010 to help small businesses get more exposure during one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year. Since its inception, Small Business Saturday has helped many independent small businesses raise awareness for shopping locally. Shop small this holiday season and support local businesses!
