Think big, shop small

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ith the Thanksgiving holiday hitting this week, local businesses in the area prepare for the coming of Small Business Saturday. 

Wedged between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday promotes local businesses and encourages shoppers to spend their money locally during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year.

“It’s a relatively new concept that’s been around since about 2009, I believe.” said J.R Gonzales, Buda Area Chamber of Commerce Managing Director. “It’s a way to get people to focus on and support small businesses in the area that are the backbone of the economy.”
