Small Business Saturday is Saturday, November 25. Many of Manchester’s small businesses will have extended hours on the 25, being open from 10am to 6pm. They will also welcome you with discounts, sales, and give-aways.

Why is Small Business Saturday important? Small businesses have long been considered the backbone and heart of the American economy. Successful small businesses bring a community together, increase real estate value, and help keep local money local, which directly benefits their towns’ economies. Small businesses pay local taxes, which means any money spent there flows back to the communities, supporting things like parks, schools, and emergency services.

Please consider shopping at local small businesses this holiday season.

There are Small Business Saturday flyers up all over downtown.

Shopping small means money spent returns to the community!

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
