Shop In Hackettstown On Small Business Saturday

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — Big name national retailers take the spotlight on Black Friday as their deep price cuts pull in shoppers in droves.

What about those mom-and-pop businesses all over Hackettstown and beyond that are the backbone of America's economy? Just when do they get their day?

That's basically the question that was asked back in 2010 when the concept of Small Business Saturday was born. Small Business Saturday is "a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities," the U.S. Small Business Administration explains on its website.

Here are just a few Hackettstown shops participating:

• Bea McNally's (109 Grand Ave)
• Home Towne Hardware (232 Main Street)
• Artstitution (123 Main Street)
• Man Skirt Brewing (144 Main Street)
• A & S Dry Cleaners (279 Main Street)
• Greene's Beans (313 High Street)
• Hosking Livery (300B Valentine Street)
