It’s almost time for #SmallBusinessSaturday. Couched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to #staylocal and support the businesses that are right there in their own towns. Many small businesses in North Shore communities rely on profits from shopping holidays to thrive, and small business Saturday helps point people in the right direction.
