Small Biz Saturday Local Shopping Guide

Patch helps you find the shops and the sales near you for Small Business Saturday.

Black Friday may be over, but this year, American Express is trying to make the day after an even bigger shopping extravaganza for the small business community.

The credit card company has been flooding the Internet and televisions with ads proclaiming Nov. 27 is Small Business Saturday. According to their site, this event "recognizes the importance of small businesses to the overall economy and local communities. It's a day to support the small, independently owned businesses we can't live without."

Over 1 million people have "Liked" the Facebook page for "Small Business Saturday" and while anyone can participate in the event by shopping, American Express invited its cardmembers to register to receive a $25 statement credit when they make a purchase at a small business on Nov. 27.
