Shop Small and help make a BIG difference in your community on November 26th!
Wherever you live take time to invest in our community by shopping with small local businesses.
Businesses in Downtown SLO will celebrate with a passport event. Shop or dine at participating local businesses and fill up your passport with stamps for a chance to WIN a basket filled with gift cards worth $400 to Downtown businesses. Some shops will also be offering holiday treats and specials throughout the day!
Pick up your Small Business Saturday Passport at participating businesses and drop off your completed passport at any one of four designated locations by the end of the day. The winner will be drawn at the Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony in Mission Plaza on Monday, November 28th at 5:30 PM.
Look for the Small Business Saturday® signage around Downtown to find participating businesses and see what special they will be hosting.
Another perk of Small Business Saturday® is free rides on SLO Transit. Spend less time searching for the perfect parking spot and more time finding the perfect gift. For more information, visit www.SLOTransit.org.
Small Business Saturday® is a movement created by American Express in 2010 to encourage people across the country to support small, local businesses. It has continued to grow and last year shoppers supported their neighborhood businesses like never before, embracing the day as a holiday shopping tradition! Shopping local is a great way to strengthen the community and it allows smaller businesses to get more exposure during one of the largest shopping weekends of the year.
