Small Business Saturday is on Nov. 30 this year, one day after the infamous Black Friday sales will sweep the nation.
But while Black Friday allows the masses to take advantage of the deals and steals in big box stores everywhere, Small Business Saturday remains an important homage to the mom-and-pop businesses everywhere.

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 West Deptford.
