Small Business SaturdaySM is a national initiative that declares a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy, and preserve neighborhoods around the country. First there was Black Friday, then Cyber Monday. Now, Small Business Saturday is an event that drives shoppers to local, independently-owned merchants.

The inaugural Small Business Saturday, created in 2010 by founding sponsor, American Express, galvanized support across the US: more than 1.5 million Facebook users, 130 small business advocate groups, public and private organizations and government leaders joined in the initiative.
