Small Business Saturday - Shop Local

November 24, 2023

As we gear up for Small Business Saturday on November 25, I am thrilled to celebrate the unique charm and character that local businesses bring to our community. This Saturday, let’s make a conscious choice to support the heart of our neighborhood by shopping local.

Whether it’s the cozy family-owned café, the boutique around the corner, one of our many wonderful restaurants, hair salons, barber and flower shops and so many more, each purchase contributes to the vibrancy and diversity of our community. Some of these businesses are still working to recover from the pandemic. Let's come together this holiday season to celebrate and support them. It's a powerful way to show solidarity and make a difference while your favorite shops bounce back and thrive.
With the holiday season quickly approaching, you may want to consider buying gift cards and certificates from a local business. According to Boost Suite, there are 350,376 small businesses in our state, which make up 99% of all businesses in Connecticut.
