Shop Small this Saturday with Chamber Members

This Saturday, Nov. 30, you might still be feeling full from too much turkey or pie, and you might be feeling exhausted by the bombardment of international retailers as they tempt you into buying something you may or may not need. However, with American Express' Shop Small Saturday, you can feel good about purchasing from local small businesses.

Shop Small Saturday, which began as Small Business Saturday in 2010, began as a way for American Express to celebrate and uplift small businesses in the wake of international Black Friday deals. Shop Small Saturday aims to encourage more people to shop local, support the business owners who live in their own communities and raise awareness for small businesses everywhere.

​This Saturday, you can celebrate here in the Toledo Region, as multiple local small businesses and Chamber members participate in this annual event. Join us in celebrating our local small businesses, putting money back into the place we all call home here at the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce.
