Small Business Saturday: Where to shop local around Metro Detroit

DETROIT – Small Business Saturday is the annual holiday shopping season day devoted to shopping local.

Small Business Saturday was an idea created by the credit card giant American Express in 2010. The campaign was launched in order to help small businesses gain additional exposure and to change the way consumers shop within their own community during the holiday season.

There are plenty of small businesses to support around Southeast Michigan. We compiled a list to help you support your local businesses.

Note: We do NOT have every single small business on this list! These are just from communities who responded to us while compiling this guide. If you have a business to add, feel free to reach out.
