Shop small to make a BIG impact on the local economy
Updated: Nov 23, 2022
November 26 is Small Business Saturday in Scranton!
As part of Scranton Tomorrow's Deck the Downtown holiday campaign, Downtown Scranton businesses will celebrate Small Business Saturday on November 26 to encourage everyone in the community to support locally-owned businesses this holiday season.
What is Small Business Saturday?
Small Business Saturday is a day to support local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy, and preserve neighborhoods around the country. American Express created this national movement to increase sales for small businesses across the country. Downtown Scranton shops and restaurants have participated in Small Business Saturday for more than a decade. When you shop small, your purchases make a big impact on the local economy.
Where can I find participating businesses?
Participating businesses will offer special promotions and unique gifts in dozens of shops and eateries in the Downtown Scranton Business District, including:
Black Box Café/Creative and Performing Arts Academy (CaPAA)
Crow Designs Studio/The Workshop
The Garden Mediterranean Restaurant
The Giving Tree Wellness Center
Northern Light Espresso Bar & Café
Tom Grudis/The Bare Accessories
Spread the joy!
Shoppers are encouraged to spread the joy on social media using #shopsmall, #smallbiz, #shoplocal, #dinelocal.
Pace yourself. We're just getting started!
Shopping small doesn't end with Small Business Saturday because local shops and eateries are participating in 'Tis the Season Sundays and Cyber Monday, too!
