Shopping locally is something that many people are opting to do this year, over the hustle and bustle at big box stores, and the shopping season officially kicks off with Small Business Saturday – a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities.
Lydia Hess, Logan County Chamber of Commerce Director, talks about local shopping:
This year, we know that small businesses need our support now more than ever as they navigate, retool, and pivot from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday has become an important part of small businesses’ busiest shopping season.
Historically, reported projected spending among U.S. consumers who shopped at independent retailers and restaurants on Small Business Saturday reached an estimated $17.9 billion.
Consumers are encouraged to support our nation’s nearly 32 million independent businesses this Small Business Saturday and all holiday season long.
For every $1 that is spent locally $.68 of that dollar stays right here in Logan County.
