Small Business Saturday shows big economic benefits of shopping local

PARSIPPANY — Saturday, November 24, 2018 is Small Business Saturday® – a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for our community. Please join the SBA, Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce and organizations across the country in supporting your local small business by shopping at a small business.

Not into the hustle and bustle of malls and big box stores? Small Business Saturday is the day to shop for you. On the day after Black Friday, local retailers roll out the red carpet for their customers.

America’s 30 million small businesses reflect the unique character of our community.

“In the eighth year of small business Saturday the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce continue to focus on small business retailers, eating and drinking establishments, and franchisee owned chains in order to attract local consumers to patronize their businesses. They are important to our local economy and when people spend money in our local establishments both local residents and business owners benefit.” said President Robert Peluso.

For nearly a decade, Small Business Saturday has helped independently owned stores compete with national chains, online retailers and big box stores. In Parsippany locally owned shops are finding creative ways to drive traffic through their doors or to their e-commerce sites.

As head of the U.S. Small Business Administration, I have visited more than 800 small businesses in nearly every state. This Small Business Saturday, I invite shoppers to support the local retailers that make their communities special.

Shop at your favorite local stores or discover new ones. Whether it’s the one-of-a-kind products or services these small businesses offer or the friendly people who work there, they make our neighborhoods home.

The entrepreneurs behind the counters can help you pick out that perfect gift, teach you how to use it, or explain the story behind its creation. Shopping becomes an experience in these stores that connects you to your neighbors. It lets you share a story as well as a gift with those on your list.

“Shopping small positively impacts both the local and national economy. When you purchase goods or services from a local provider, more than 50 percent of the money spent stays in the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. Not only do locally owned businesses create new jobs and establish a sense of community, they also fuel the economy by spending and partnering with other local merchants and providers,” said Frank Cahill, Vice Chairman Parsippany Economic Development Advisory Committee.

On Tuesday, November 20, Mayor Michael Soriano signed a proclamation for Small Business Saturday.  Soriano said “the government of Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey, celebrates our local small businesses and the contributions they make to our local economy and community; according to the United States Small Business Administration, there are currently 30.2 million small businesses in the United States, they represent 99.7 percent of all businesses with employees in the United States, are responsible for 65.9 percent of net new jobs created from 2000 to 2017.”

Michael A. Soriano, Mayor of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills, proclaims November 24, 2018, as “Small Business Saturday.”
