According to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) the holiday shopping season is crucial to small businesses.
Now in its fifth year, Small Business Saturday encourages people to support the local businesses that play an important role in their communities.
"Small and independent business owners are among the most generous supporters of civic groups, local charities, youth sports, schools and virtually every other form of community activity," said Dan Murray, state director of NFIB. "Shopping locally is a great way for people to help their friends and neighbors create jobs and opportunities in the places where they live."
