Small Business Saturday

#ShopSmall in LIC this Small Business Saturday!

Choosing to shop small is choosing to invest in your community. For every dollar spent at a small business, an average of $0.67 stays in that business's local neighborhood. Shopping small infuses money back into our local economies, promotes vibrant and diverse communities, and celebrates the important role of small businesses in the national economy. This holiday season, #ShopSmallEveryDay to support your community. Details
