Here at RICtoday, we like to keep things local all year long, but on Small Business Saturday, the rest of the country joins us in our mission to shop small.
Founded by American Express in 2010 and cosponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration since 2011, Small Business Saturday is an initiative to bring small businesses to the forefront of the holiday shopping season on the last Saturday of November.
This year’s event falls on Saturday, Nov. 29, and we want to make shopping local as easy as possible. This map can help you find small businesses in your area.
Here are a few that caught our eye:
- DawnStar Video Games | Used video games + arcade
- Circle Thrift + Art Space | Thrift + creator goods
- The Black Olive Pizzeria | Food + events
Editor Elise’s bonus shout-outs:
- Maven Theory | Home goods, gifts + scents
- Auntie Ning’s | Filipino Food
- Pearl’s Bake Shoppe | Sweets + gluten-free specialties
