Small Business Saturday was spent at Winder Binder, Blue Skies, Beast and Barrel (for brunch), Jacks Sugar Shop, Bread and Butter (not pictured All Things Groovy). It’s always a good thing to support places like this.
Saturday, November 25, 2017 is Small Business Saturday – a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities.
The local economy is impacted greater when one supports local stores and businesses this time of year. Many mom and pop shops are the work of people who do what they do out of love and to provide good jobs for their friends and neighbors. So today and throughout the holidays support those small businesses in your area that make a big differences.
After church this afternoon we swung by a new bakery in the Chattanooga suburb of Red Bank. This bakery has been in the works for a few months and this is their opening weekend. Bread and Butter Bakery decided to do a “soft opening” so they didn’t have the widest range of offerings but what they had today looked pretty tasty. Featured items today were scones, brownies, baguette, cookies, seasoned loaves along with some locally sourced cheeses and butter. I am excited to see what they will do in the future.
This building once was home to a Baskin Robbins 31 Ice Cream shop that some friends of mine operated for years. It’s nice to see something good going into it.
Today was Small Business Saturday, a day set aside to promote small businesses in the midst of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. American Express is championing this effort to help independent retailers have a big impact on the economy during the holiday shopping season. We did our part today to help the economy and to put some money into the til of some of our favorite businesses on the North Shore of Chattanooga.
