This and every Saturday after Thanksgiving is Small Business Saturday!
Shopping small helps create jobs and strengthens Philly’s neighborhoods. In fact, did you know that for every $100 spent at an independent business, about $68 goes right back into the local economy?
Commercial corridors are some of Philadelphia’s best business assets. They anchor avenues and connect residents, entrepreneurs, and workers.
This Saturday, commercial corridors across the city are participating in Small Business Saturday. So come out and make the most of your neighborhood — or explore some new ones!
If you can’t make it out this Saturday, plan a weekend to check out one or more of these amazing local hubs!
From independent boutiques and galleries, to family-owned home goods shops, local lifestyle and beauty experts, to chef-driven restaurants and breweries – Chestnut Hill offers something for everyone to enjoy during Small Business Saturday this holiday season. Their Small Business Saturday Celebrations will even include appearances by the Mummers and Santa!
This holiday season, select shops are offering free gifts with purchase, free gift wrapping, and discounts! On Small Business Saturday, dozens of shops, restaurants, lifestyle and fitness merchants, boutiques, salons, and clothiers are opening their doors to welcome you and yours!
