Black Friday and Small Business Saturday Shopping Guide in Saline

Saline's small businesses are ready for the holiday hustle and bustle of the busiest shopping weekend of the year. Stores and restaurants are decorated with holly, mistletoe, ribbon and ornaments. Your neighborhood small business owner is ready to serve you on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday as you kick off the holiday shopping.

Why should you shop locally? The sampling below will show you. But before we get to the guide, consider the economic and community impact. Supporting Saline businesses means more money stays in our community. The U.S. Small Business Administration says $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. When a person spends $100 at a big-box store or a national chain, only $14 remains in the community. 

Local businesses are more likely to utilize other local businesses, such as banks, service providers and even farms. Small businesses also pay employees, many of whom are local and shop local, thereby keeping even more dollars in their communities. They also sponsor sports teams, choirs, field trips and other activities that make Saline a great place to live.
