Network encourages consumers to 'Shop Small For All' With the holiday shopping season upon us, the North Carolina Community College Small Business Center Network (SBCN), which includes Forsyth Tech's Small Business Center, is encouraging commu nities to support local small businesses on Saturday, Nov. 28 and to use #ShopSmallForAll on social media. Nestled between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday? has quickly become a nationally recognized day to support local independ ent merchants. "Statistics show that more jobs are created through small businesses than big businesses," says Allan Younger, director of the Small Business Center at Forsyth Tech. "Here at the Small Business Center, we serve hundreds of potential and existing small busi ness owners each year?and that number is growing. A community that supports its small businesses is a community that can thrive economically." Small Business Saturday? was founded by American Express in 2010 as a day to celebrate local businesses through the launch of the holiday shopping season. The day has since grown into a powerful movement in support of local small businesses that make communities unique.
