Village Encourages Residents to “Shop Local, Shop Woodridge.”

Small Business Saturday is being celebrated across the nation Nov. 24.

Are you looking for a local accountant, attorney, bakery or barber? Do you need an expert computer repair specialist, financial planner, dentist or hairdresser? How about a terrific restaurant, grocery store or other retailer - right in your own hometown?

That’s what Small Business Saturday is all about – shopping at small, local businesses.

The Village of Woodridge has compiled a list of categories of local businesses on its “Shop Local, Shop Woodridge” page, just in time for Small Business Saturday on Nov. 24.
