Black Friday typically means lines, traffic, lines, cranky, tired people weeding through sale racks and more lines!
Small Business Saturday, on the other hand, is all about supporting the little, local guys. I usually peacefully meander to my local coffee shop, then head to some independent boutiques and hit up some fav local restaurants for fuel in between.
Here’s a few more reasons I think Small Business Saturday kicks Black Friday’s a**.
Small Business Saturday is a good day to give recognition to the little guys. But, we should all try to shop this way whenever possible. Spending our money on independent business is what keeps them around. Philadelphia is lucky to be home to so many awesome, independent retailers, and we want to keep it that way!
You can use foursquare #shopsmall to find small business to support in your area.
