November 26, 2021 – Small Business Saturday is tomorrow. It was created by American Express in 2010, with the reason behind it being to help ensure the survival of small, brick-and-mortar, and online local businesses.

The goal of Small Business Saturday is to drive customers into independently-owned stores, restaurants, and other local businesses.

“If you truly want to give back and support the Decatur Macon County community, make every effort and shop local. Shopping local keeps our friends, family, and neighbors employed. The sales tax generated provides for our roads, police and fire departments,” said Miranda Rothrock, President of the Greater Decatur Chamber of Commerce.

“When you shop local this holiday season, not only are you stimulating our local economy, you are out among the sounds and smells of the holiday. It brightens your attitude and gets you in the holiday spirit. Shopping in person, you meet and interact with people like the store owner, sales clerk or customers. Who knows, perhaps you could find your next job?”
