American Express's Small Business Saturday celebrates its 10th year this year with thousands of business in Brooklyn participating!
Small Business Saturday on November 30 is a way to help get more customers to shop small and with 67 cents of each dollar spent at a small business remaining in the community, the event has become a win-win for both shoppers and merchants during this holiday weekend.
