For over 10 years, people all over the country have been championing a special initiative called “Small Business Saturday.” An annual holiday on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, it encourages holiday shoppers to shop at local businesses, and is a day to celebrate and support small businesses and the contributions they bring to their communities. This year, Small Business Saturday is on November 27th. At First United Bank, we know that small businesses are essential to our communities. What better day to show the small businesses in your community that you appreciate them than Small Business Saturday!
