You might be the type who finds hanging out on a freezing sidewalk for the best Black Friday deals exciting. Or perhaps you've already started working out your mouse-clicking finger for Cyber Monday. But if neither scenario appeals to you, there is an alternative—Small Business Saturday.
Conceived by American Express to help spotlight the efforts of local small businesses, Small Business Saturday comes at the beginning of the big holiday shopping sprint—this Saturday—and encourages shoppers not to bypass Main Street (or Bridge Street) for the mega-mall.
Phoenixville Patch would love to hear which small businesses you can't live without in the area. Tell us in the comments which independently owned business is a must for shoppers this Saturday and why. Your shout-out could help a sector of our economy that has created 65 percent of the net new jobs over the last 17 years.
