Local

Small businesses Saturday in Downtown Jacksonville

Jacksonville, FL. — The pandemic has forced many local businesses to reinvent themselves in order to stay open.

They’ve had to pivot how they did things before, and find new ways to interact and attract customers.

But, many are barely hanging on, which is my this year before you click that buy button online at big box stores, shop local instead.

November 28, 2020 is Small Business Saturday, an annual celebration of all things local from retail shops to your favorite corner restaurant.
