Shop Small Business Saturday in Norcross

Small Business Saturday is on Nov. 24 this year, two days after Thanksgiving. It is a day for everyone to support the small businesses that their community thrives on.

American Express founded the day in 2010 to help small businesses get exposure during the holiday season, when they might be otherwise overlooked.

With retailers buzzing around the holidays, it is important to support local small businesses that rely on their neighbors in order to continue prospering and building the local economy in Norcross.

Last year, 100 million people nationwide participated in Small Business Saturday by shopping at locally owned stores to help boost the economy and their communities. In Norcross, there are 100 companies listed on the Small Business Saturday website as participants.

Those businesses include:

• Anna Balkan Jewelry Gallery
• AbbyGayles
• The Shops of Antique Traditions
• Good Things Home & Garden
• The Purple Poppy Shoppe
• Taste of Britain

Everyone has locally owned businesses in their community, and shopping on Small Business Saturday is the perfect way to give back to the businesses you know and love in your community.

"We're so fortunate to have Small Business Saturday," said Lorraine White, the co-owner of The Shops of Antique Traditions in downtown Norcross. "So many of the shoppers that come in our store are all very supportive of shopping small, anyway, but on that day especially, it brings awareness to the fact that we're a small business, and Norcross offers small businesses."

The Shops of Antique Traditions, which covers the four businesses of Home Norcross, Reminisce, Details Boutique and Antique Traditions, offers a wide variety of items including furniture, baby gifts, home decor, seasonal items, jewelry, handbags and artwork.
