Celebrated each year on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, Small Business Saturday was launched by American Express in 2010 to support the small businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve neighborhoods around the country.
To commemorate the fifth year of Small Business Saturday, five “main streets” across the country received makeovers from professional designers to be revealed leading up to the busy shopping holiday weekend. Participating cities included Coral Gables; San Francisco; Hoboken, NJ; Chicago and Washington, DC.
