Thanksgiving week is here, and though many of us are already in holiday mode, Thanksgiving is typically recognized as the real holiday kick-off. Customers nationwide will shop in-person and online this weekend, especially with big retailers.

Thankfully, Small Business Saturday is here to remind us that high-quality, local small businesses count on the support of our communities.
