The Saturday after Thanksgiving marks more than just a day of rest from feasting and football; it is the beginning of an opportunity to celebrate AND support the lifeblood of our communities—our small businesses. This year, as we gear up for the holiday season, I invite you to join the movement that has captured the hearts of millions: Small Business Saturday and it’s extension, our Season of Small Business.
Small businesses are more than pretty storefronts and services. They’re vibrant hubs where communities gather, dreams take flight, and local economies thrive. A case in point is the fact that over 80% of Americans trust their small businesses, placing them higher than nearly any other institution in terms of confidence! This trust is not misplaced. Small businesses employ more than half of our workforce, support local nonprofits, and generate unparalleled local economic energy.
Yet, it is during the holidays that small businesses truly shine. Around 80% of small businesses report that the end of the year is critical to their bottom line. This is why Small Business Saturday, established by American Express in 2010 and co-sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) since 2011, has grown into a national tradition.
In fact, The National Retail Foundation indicates it was the second most popular shopping day in 2023, trailing only Black Friday. Building on this momentum, the SBA introduced the Season of Small Business to encourage local spending throughout this festive season.

- Preserving Community Character: Small businesses bring diversity, charm, and a sense of identity to neighborhoods that big-box stores simply cannot replicate.
- Fostering Connections: Shopping small is personal. You are not just a transaction; you’re a valued neighbor.
This year, I encourage you to make Small Business Saturday a celebration of community.
