Every time you choose to shop at a local business, you strengthen your community. According to the 2022 Small Business Economic Impact Study, $0.68 of every dollar spent at small businesses stays in the local community, supporting jobs, local suppliers, and essential services. That impact continues to grow as local businesses reinvest in schools, events, and neighborhood programs.
Small Business Saturday, launched in 2010, has shown how powerful local support can be. Over the years, millions of shoppers have helped generate billions of dollars for small businesses nationwide — from $5.5 billion in 2012 to more than $17 billion in 2023. The message is clear: when communities shop local, everyone benefits.
