It’s time to shop small ‘til you drop! This year, Small Business Saturday falls on November 27th and recognizes the importance of supporting local businesses.
Small businesses in Baltimore allow our community to thrive, create jobs, fuel dreams, and give back. Furthermore, small businesses help the environment with sustainable practices. So, let’s give back this holiday season by shopping small.
The Grinch? Or, The Global Supply Chain?
This year, shopping small is extra beneficial to make up for businesses lost during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. And with the recent global supply chain and logistic issues, it makes sense to shop small and not risk delivery issues with online orders from large retailers.
