Small Business Saturday is an annual shopping holiday that started in 2010 and it takes place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The event has since grown into a national movement, with millions of consumers showing their support for small businesses each year.

Small Business Saturday is important because small businesses are the backbone of local communities. They provide jobs, unique products, and services, and help to create a sense of community. By shopping at small businesses, consumers can help to support their local economy and ensure that these businesses continue to thrive.

Small Business Saturday also helps to raise awareness about the importance of shopping small. Many small businesses struggle to compete with larger retailers, and events like Small Business Saturday can help to level the playing field by shining a spotlight on these businesses and encouraging consumers to shop with them.

The Puente Team decided to celebrate Small business Saturday in 2022 by going to Corktown and parts of Mexicantown to capture the essence of what a small business is.
