Shop Small Shop Local
Small Business Saturday is a national promotion set for Nov. 30 – the Saturday after Thanksgiving – which encourages shoppers to buy goods and services from independently owned small businesses.
"Small businesses help Oakland County's economy thrive by providing jobs and being connected to their neighborhoods," Oakland County Executive David Coulter said. "Participating in Small Business Saturday is one of the ways Oakland County supports our entrepreneurs who invest back into their communities."
One lucky shopper will win $5,000 in a random drawing, courtesy of ShopLoyal. To enter, shoppers simply make a purchase at any independent retailer or service provider in Oakland County on Nov. 30, take a picture of the receipt and text SHOPTEXTWIN to 41411 and follow the registration instructions. Second prize is $2,000, courtesy of Bank of Ann Arbor, and third prize is $1,000, courtesy of Emagine Theaters.
Bank of Ann Arbor is also sponsoring a $500 prize for the business employee who waits on the customer who wins the grand prize. Prizes will be awarded by Dec. 17.
The campaign is sponsored locally by Oakland County's One Stop Shop Business Center.
