Shop Locally in Dunwoody on Small Business Saturday

Start your holiday shopping at locally owned stores during Small Business Saturday.

Small Business Saturday is on Nov. 24 this year, two days after Thanksgiving. It is a day for everyone to support the small businesses their community thrives on.

American Express founded the day in 2010 to help small businesses get exposure during the holiday season, when they might be otherwise overlooked. With retailers buzzing around the holidays, it is important to support local small businesses that rely on their neighbors in order to continue prospering and building the local economy in Southwest Atlanta.

More and more big chain stores are starting to pop-up on Cascade and Camp Creek and that is a very welcomed sign, but we also want to support the small businesses owned by our friends, family, and neighbors.
