Shop Small this Holiday Season

Supporting small business is now more important than ever. This holiday season looks a little different, but you can still shop small to help support your favorite local Hollywood businesses, both in-store and online. Small Business Saturday this year is on Saturday, November 28th, but please consider supporting your favorite small business all season long.

In 2010, American Express founded Small Business Saturday as a way to encourage people to shop at small businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Last year, the 10th Annual Small Business Saturday hit a record high with an estimated $19.6 billion in reported spending. These small businesses serve as the backbone of our economy and represent over 89% of Broward County's business community. Join the movement, remember to Shop Small in Hollywood this holiday season.
