WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) is leading efforts to recognize Small Business Saturday and encourage Arkansans to shop locally on Saturday, November 25.

“Small Business Saturday is an opportunity to show our appreciation for the contributions local retailers and neighborhood businesses make in our communities. The success of small businesses depends upon customers willing to support them. Giving our business to local merchants helps our neighbors, friends, church family and budding entrepreneurs who want a piece of the American dream. We can do our part to help them thrive. I encourage Arkansans to join me in supporting our small businesses this holiday season,” Boozman said.

Boozman is a cosponsor of the Senate-passed resolution that designates Saturday, November 25, 2017 as Small Business Saturday, encourages consumers to shop locally and highlights the importance of small business to our economy.
