Small Business Saturday Is Coming, Let’s Show Up for Our Neighbors

When you shop local, you’re not just buying a product, you’re investing in a person. You’re helping a neighbor feed their family, keep their doors open, and continue doing what they love. With Small Business Saturday coming up on Saturday, November 29, 2025, now is the perfect time to celebrate the incredible businesses that make Norton feel like home.

The Power of Knowing Who Made What You’re Consuming

Whether it’s a handcrafted coffee from Bean Grind N' Coffee Co., a burger from Old Stone Jail Bar & Grill, letting The Creative Corner throw you a Paint Party, or finding unbeatable deals at Store With a Door Overstock, shopping and supporting local means you know the story behind the item or service. You know the hands that made it, the heart that built it, and the family it supports.

Local businesses aren’t faceless corporations. They’re your neighbors. They’re the people who sponsor your kids’ sports teams, donate to local causes, and wave to you when you drive by.

The Ripple Effect: Keeping Money in Norton

Every dollar spent at a Norton business circulates through our community. It pays wages, supports other local suppliers, and helps fund the services that keep our town running. According to national studies, more than 60% of money spent locally stays local, compared to less than 20% when spent at big-box or billionaire owned online retailers.

That means your morning coffee, your haircut, your oil change, they all help Norton thrive.

Local Businesses That Make Norton Shine

Norton is home to many small businesses, each one contributing to the fabric of our community.

How You Can Support Local Beyond Shopping

Supporting local doesn’t always mean spending money. You can:

  • Leave a positive review online
  • Share a business’s post on social media
  • Recommend them to friends and family
  • Attend local events and markets
  • Thank the owners and staff personally

Norton Pride in Action

In a world of fast shipping and faceless transactions, shopping local is a radical act of connection. It’s how we keep our community alive. It’s how we make sure the people who’ve invested in Norton are supported in return.

So this Small Business Saturday, let’s show up. Let’s shop local. Let’s remind each other that Norton pride means we take care of our own.
