SBA says shopping at small businesses can have a huge impact on
local economy. 

WASHINGTON – As a proud supporter of Small Business Saturday®,  a
day dedicated to supporting small businesses on one of the
busiest shopping weekends of the year, the U.S. Small Business
Administration is encouraging every American to support small
businesses by doing some of their holiday shopping on the
Saturday after Thanksgiving at small businesses.

This year’s Small Business Saturday® is Nov. 26, 2011.

“Small businesses are the foundation of our economy – half of
America’s workers either own or work for a small business,” said
SBA Administrator Karen Mills.  “Small Business Saturday® is an
opportunity to show our support for our friends and neighbors who
throughout the year are growing our local economy, as well as
supporting many local initiative and organizations.”

Nov. 26 marks the second annual Small Business Saturday®, a day
to support the local small businesses that create jobs, boost the
economy and preserve neighborhoods around the country. First
there was Black Friday, and then Cyber Monday, and now Small
Business Saturday® will help drive shoppers to America’s job
creators. Small businesses have generated two out of every three
net new jobs over the past 15 years and employ over half of all
private sector employees.
