Lombard Joins In 'Small Business Saturday' Crusade
The holiday shopping season has begun and Lombard Village President, William Mueller encourages residents to shop big and small this year.
Mueller’s catchphrase “Shop Lombard” is encouraged to Lombard residents and visitors all year long but this holiday season he joins in the second annual “Small Business Saturday” campaign on November 26 to support local independent businesses in our community. The campaign is initiated by American Express to steer dollars toward local merchants and recognize their unique place in the community. It is being supported by towns and cities nationwide.
“Traditionally, the weekend post-Thanksgiving holiday between ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Cyber Monday’ is the two busiest shopping days of the holiday season,” said Mueller. “We want to remind shoppers not to overlook the smaller businesses in town when shopping for holiday gifts. By supporting these shops, we are recognizing their valuable contribution to our community,” added Mueller.
