"Small Business Saturday" is a national movement reminding all to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost local economies and help preserve local downtowns.
"I encourage everyone to shop your local small business this Saturday, November 24th, and to continue to 'shop small' throughout the holiday season and New Year," said Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter. "Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, accounting for nearly 50% of all employees in the private sector, and are instrumental in capturing the unique charm and service that define the downtown shopping experience," she added.
Last year a reported 43% of American adult shoppers joined the cause nationwide. Join us in all our downtowns throughout Islip this Saturday, and show your support for the local small businesses that help to employ our friends and neighbors, and continue to make our Town a more welcoming place to live, work and visit.
