Saturday, November 29, 2025, is officially Small Business Saturday in the United States. Last year, Small Business Saturday drove an estimated $17 billion based on projections from U.S. consumer reported spending. This Small Business Saturday we encourage you to Shop Local! A number of our Chamber members are offering special deals, discounts, and giveaways for shoppers who decide to spend their money in our great little community.

According to Civil Economics: Andersonville Study of Retail Economics for every $100 you spend at locally owned businesses, $68 will stay in the community. There are plenty of reasons to shop local:

You create local jobs

You invest in and reward entrepreneurship

You build relationships with your neighbors

Sales taxes collected from your purchases stay in the community

You minimize economic impact by consuming less fuel and packaging

The money you spend at local businesses has a BIG impact. Everyone benefits from your neighbors who own and operate local businesses to the municipalities who maintain your roads and fund the school system. Everyone benefits, including you! When you shop local you help create a healthier economy and a happier community.

Participating businesses include: Flipside Sounds, DCL Spas & Hot Tubs, Deep Creek Pottery, CurlyRed, Deep Creek Pretzel Co., Bear Creek Traders, Taylor-Made Deep Creek Vacations, Polska Polish Pottery of Deep Creek Lake, Christmas Chalet, The Tourist Trap, The KW Collective at Deep Creek Lake, and The Lazy Bear Gift Shop.
