It's no secret the Mpls.St.Paul Magazine team loves to shop local—so we consider Small Business Saturday, the day after Black Friday, something of a national holiday. But with so many great deals and events from stores we adore all across the metro, where does a shopper start? This year, we're expanding our Small Biz Saturday guide to be bigger than ever—and we're breaking it up by neighborhood so you and your #shoplocal cohort can make the most of your day. Ahead we've listed out the shops doing a little special somethin' for the Saturday dedicated to supporting small (but mighty) brick-and-mortar. Go forth!
We'll be updating this post throughout the week, so keep checking back! Don't see your Small Business Saturday event listed below? Drop us a note and we'll happily add.
