Small Business Saturday: Shop Summit

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.

According to AmericanExpress.com eligible card members can register to receive a $25 statement credit when they spend $25 or more at a participating Summit small business.

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 Summit.
