You can support small retailers by joining me and your Great Neck, New Hyde Park, Herricks, Searington, Williston Park, Albertson, Mineola, Manhasset and Roslyn neighbors on the fourth annual national Small Business Saturday, this coming Nov. 29.
“Small Business Saturday set for Nov. 29” (Community News – Nov. 21). Do the same as often as you can during the other 364 days a year.
Skip the national chain stores annual Black Friday Madness, which now starts early Thursday night at most big box large retail stores.
Only PC Richards puts aside financial greed in favor of allowing their employees to stay home with family and is closed.
Stay home and enjoy your Thanksgiving meal with friends and family. Get a good nights sleep and instead come out and support small business by shopping local.
In these difficult economic times, it is especially important to patronize your neighborhood businesses.
There are so many great options to choose from. Remember these people are our neighbors. They work long hours, pay taxes and provide local employment. If we don’t patronize our local community stores and restaurants to shop and eat, they don’t eat either.
Please join me and your neighbors in continuing to support our Great Neck News and sister publications New Hyde Park Herald Courier, Williston Times, Manhasset Times and Roslyn Times.
Patronize their advertisers; they provide the necessary revenues to help keep them in business. Let them know you saw their ad. This helps keep our neighbors employed and the local economy growing.
