10 Smashing Stories About Small Businesses
Dear readers,
Today is Small Business Saturday! It’s a day to support and celebrate our hardworking local businesses. Mom-and-pop shops are not immune to the weird and rude customers that frequent franchises and corporations. For them, dealing with these customers is a double-edged sword; they can’t just forward the complainers on to corporate, but they don’t have to answer to corporate when they give jerks the boot, either!
In honor of the entrepreneurs among us, we’ve rounded up 10 stories about small businesses. Now, more than ever, they need our love and support! So when you’re done with this roundup, consider starting your Christmas shopping with the businesses closest to home.
