Business leaders urge people to ‘shop small’ this holiday season
‘Tis the season — to shop small.
Although Small Business Saturday falls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, island business leaders are encouraging people to shop locally throughout the holiday season as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on.
Mark Brown, director of the East Hawaii Small Business Development Center, said the center is focusing on a season-long “shop small” campaign.
“The challenge, I think, all the local small businesses face is there are various degrees of people who are open,” and differing numbers of people who are permitted to enter each store because of the COVID safety restrictions.
