Editorial: Small Business Saturday
For the second year, American Express is urging people to shop locally on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 26.
The credit card giant says "first there was Black Friday, then Cyber Monday," and in pushing the merits of shopping at the small companies, because "When we all shop small, it will be huge."
The big boxes entice throngs with their wonderful bargains, and why not? But why not also slip into the smaller shops the next day and see the beautiful and different products they offer? When you help a local small business, you help your neighbor, too.
