It’s that time of the year again. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and while many will be stuffing their faces full of turkey, stuffing, dinner rolls, yams, pie and whatever else was cooked up in the kitchen, many folks will be gearing up to go out and do some shopping on Black Friday. While there are plenty of Black Friday deals to take advantage of, we encourage you to remember the “mom and pop shops” on November 26, A.K.A. Small Business Saturday.
Small Business Saturday has been a tradition for some time now, one that started in opposition to Black Friday. While getting a good deal on a new TV at the big box stores across the country is great, a spotlight should certainly be shined on all of the small businesses in metro Detroit that have plenty of their own deals for you to take advantage of.
Folks who shop at a participating small business in Oakland County on November 26 have a chance to win $5,000, courtesy of North American Bancard. A second place prize of $2,000 will be awarded to one lucky shopper, courtesy of Flagstar Bank, and a third place prize of a $500 voucher towards travel on Southwest Airlines at Flint Bishop International Airport will also be awarded.

In an effort to bring attention to small businesses in Corktown, Mama Coo’s Boutique, The Farmer’s Hand, The Bearded Lady, Hello Records and more will be participating in Corktown’s first ever Trumbull Bagley Small Business Saturday, organized by Ask Jennyfer.
