Small Business Saturday coming up!

The holiday season is a time of the year that brings out the best in us. Our generosity, caring, and understanding are on full display as we donate to those in need and purchase gifts to show those we love how much they mean to us.

Small Business Saturday is one of many opportunities we have to support our local businesses. The holiday falls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and this year will be held on Nov. 27. 

When you support a local business, you are also supporting your town, county, and neighborhood. The owners of these businesses are your friends, neighbors, and family members. They give back to our community in big ways, and are always the first to step up to support local charities, community organizations, and sports teams. 

The Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches is encouraging Main Street businesses to plan for the holiday shopping event with deals and specials for shoppers.

“We’re here for small business. We try to help in any way we can to promote their businesses so that people in the community will think of us before going to the big-box stores,” said chamber treasurer Gerry Sapanaro. “Shop Main Street! Shop local.”

The owners of AJ Sunflower Boutique said they are already stocking up for their Black Friday and Small Business Saturday $25 deals.
“We will also have swag bags for the first 50 customers each day with a purchase over $100,” said the owner, Katie. “And for every $50 purchase, our customers will receive $10 Sunflower cash to spend in January. It’s a great opportunity check items off your holiday list while supporting local businesses.”
