“The more we keep in this economy obviously the better these businesses will fare”, says Mark McKenzie, Mayo Plaza Property Manager. “It’s unique things when you buy them”.
“Six years later, we’re pleased to say they have – last year, thousands of communities and 88 million consumers shopped small on Small Business Saturday”.
Many shoppers went out in support of Small Business Saturday, another shopping holiday that follows Black Friday and gives customers another chance for more discounts.
“We help schools with programs and a lot of people don’t realize that”.
“We’re a community down here, and so, we shop at each other’s businesses, eat at local restaurants, use local banks”, Heath said.
It’s the fifth year American’s have been encouraged to support small local businesses on what’s typically the busiest shopping weekend of the Christmas season.
