Small Business Saturday: Shop Watchung-Green Brook

Small Business Saturday is on Nov. 24 this year, two days after Thanksgiving. It is a day for everyone to support the small businesses that their community thrives on.

American Express founded the day in 2010 to help small businesses get exposure during the holiday season, when they might be otherwise overlooked. With retailers buzzing around the holidays, it is important to support local small businesses that rely on their neighbors in order to continue prospering and building the local economy in Green Brook and Watchung. 

Last year, 100 million people nationwide participated in Small Business Saturday by shopping at locally owned stores to help boost the economy and their communities.

According to American Express, you can get $25 back one time when you spend $25 or more at one of the qualifying businesses on Nov. 24, using your American Express card.

Everyone has locally owned businesses in their community, and shopping on Small Business Saturday is the perfect way to give back to the businesses you know and love in your community.

Below is a list of all Small Businesses participating in the cause. Be sure to patronize them on Saturday, and tell us, in the comments, which are your favorites.
