Small Business Saturday, an initiative dedicated to celebrating and supporting small and locally-owned businesses + the impact they have in our communities, is on Saturday, Nov. 30.
The day falls between two of the biggest shopping days of the year — Black Friday and Cyber Monday — and has become an annual shopping tradition for many since its establishment by American Express in 2010.
If you’re looking to join in on the festivities this year, check out this list of some of City Editor Kate + City Editor Elizabeth’s favorite small businesses in town — and some extra suggestions from our followers.
Guardado Garden Center | City Editor Kate loves nothing more than sprucing up her garden with new plants from this west side nursery + just can’t say no to a talavera animal pot.
Doc’s Records | Stop by for Record Store Day on Friday, Nov. 29 to shop limited edition vinyl releases exclusive to independent record stores + hunt through the vintage booths for extra discounts.
Flipstone Vintage and Thrift | Shop on Black Friday for 20% off all decor and furniture + come back on Small Business Saturday for the Fill-A-Bag Sale. Plus, get $5 off $50 clothing purchases and a $10 jewelry gift when you spend $40 on jewelry.
Roy Pope Grocery | Enjoy 10% off coffee all-day and complimentary wine tastings from 11-7 p.m. on Saturday. Wines will rotate every 2 hours so there will be a variety of tastings all day long.
Martin House Brewing Company | This local brewery is a go-to for City Editor Elizabeth. Known for unique brews like Best Maid sour pickle and Girl Scout cookie, Martin House distributes to several DFW restaurants and liquor stores so you don’t have to travel far to enjoy. On Saturday, it is hosting a petting zoo, vendors, and music — in addition to the 30 beers on tap.
