What is Small Business Saturday?

American Express started Small Business Saturday in 2010 to bring more holiday shoppers to small businesses after the recession. The idea spread, and it's an annual event nationwide.

When is Small Business Saturday?

Small Business Saturday happens every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year, that's November 28.

Why does Small Business Saturday matter to Perrysburg?

When we do some of our holiday shopping close to home, we help keep the small businesses we love open year-round.

Shop local on November 28th. Pick up a gift from a shop downtown, grab lunch or dinner at a locally owned restaurant, or order online from a small business based right here in Perrysburg.
