Small Business Saturday, Shop Small - Shop Lakewood

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

Over a decade ago, someone came up with the idea of Small Business Saturday as a way to counteract Black Friday at the Big Box stores. It has caught on and has become a fixture in the Thanksgiving Holiday season. Most businesses in Lakewood are small stores, and most are very dependent on a great holiday season. So as you shop for holiday gifts, decorations and things, remember all of your favorites in Lakewood.

For the record, and only for the record, that someone was American Express. It's still a very good idea, especially in Lakewood with its many small merchants.
