Celebrate and Support Small Business Saturday
Small businesses make up 99% of all businesses in Arkansas, and Small Business Saturday on Nov. 25 is a day to celebrate and support local small business and what they mean to every community in the state.
Created by American Express and co-sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), this Saturday is the 13th annual Small Business Saturday and a critical part of small businesses' busiest shopping season.
As our local small businesses continue to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, show your support by spending your everyday and holiday dollars at your favorite small business on Nov. 25!
