Some local business owners say this celebratory day is one of their biggest days of the year for sales.
“Small Business Saturday combined with Black Friday is one of the biggest sales days for us throughout the entire year,” said Frances Wilson, assistant manager at Global Gifts. “It helps fund our mission to help support artisans from 40 different countries and it helps us reach more people than we’d usually reach.”
