    Founded by American Express and held each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Small Business Saturday is an exclusive event for small retailers and other community businesses. Now in its eleventh year, Small Business Saturday is a promotional platform for merchants of all kinds.

    Supporting local businesses is encouraged now more than ever due to COVID-19. According to American Express, 62% of U.S. small businesses reported that in order to stay in business consumer spending has to return to pre-COVID levels by the end of 2020.
