Nashville, TN — The Tennessee District of the Small Business Administration (SBA) is encouraging shopping at local small businesses on Small Business Saturday. Officials say shopping small on Saturday, Nov. 28, supports America’s dynamic small business owners and provides critical economic backing to businesses nationwide. This year, officials say, small businesses need support more than ever as they navigate, retool and pivot from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
Celebrated each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Small Business Saturday allows consumers to make an impact in their neighborhoods by supporting local small businesses. Last year, an estimated 110 million U.S consumers shopped small on Small Business Saturday.
